The Healing Justice Listening & Cultural Memory Tour seeks to map, gather and bring forward our traditions of care, and strategies that are changing systems of care that continue to be harmful and abusive to our communities. We are building HJ to scale to understand a collective, liberatory, community/survivor led response to our communities' generations of oppression, violence and trauma. We will go to four regions, and 8 cities tracing the lineage of HJ in the Healing Justice Lineages anthology including: the Southeast (Atlanta & Durham), the Midwest (Detroit & Chicago), the West Coast (Oakland & Los Angeles) and the Northeast (Baltimore & New York City).

A profound offering and call to action—collective stories, testimonials, and incantations for renewing political and spiritual liberation grounded in Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Queer and Trans healing justice lineages

Anti-capitalist, Black feminist, and abolitionist, Healing Justice Lineages is a profound and urgent call to embrace community and survivor-led care strategies as models that push beyond commodified self-care, the policing of the medical industrial complex, and the surveillance of the public health system. Centering disability, reproductive, environmental, and transformative justice and harm reduction, this collection elevates and archives an ongoing tradition of liberation and survival—one that has been largely left out of our history books, but continues to this day.
