Seasons Greetings from The Praxis Project
Dear Praxis Family,
With profound appreciation, The Praxis Project wishes you happy holidays and a happy new year. This year wasn't what any of us expected, and as we reflect on 2020, we want to acknowledge and appreciate your incredible efforts. We have witnessed the invaluable support you continue to provide to your communities. Despite the risks and through unimaginable loss, you continued to show up in the moment and beyond the moment to sustain the work of transforming systems towards better health, justice and racial equity.
“Decades of expertise creating mutual aid infrastructure kicked into gear during COVID-rapid response.” - US Federation of Worker Co-ops
"This has been a moment for us. Allies have emerged from the shadows, black and brown people seem more inclined speak out about the injustices and the community is turning to us more to speak/address the racial undertones in our schools. We are outlining a political education series to respond to the gaps in knowledge.” - Gwinnett SToPP
You gracefully extended warmth, care, patience, and collaboration. Your efforts ensured that your community could continue to access support, address their essential needs, and feel connected.
“Focusing on a sense of space and place, and sense of belonging, has become important since COVID-19 seemed to rip this away from many people. Not just for our clients but also for our staff as well.” - La Plazita Institute
“When the pandemic began, we began calling and checking in with every single member, this took a few weeks to complete but this allowed us to respond in a way that was addressing common themes.” - InnerCity Struggle
The Praxis Project has been incredibly grateful to be in community with each of you and for the opportunity to convene virtually to learn and grow together. We wish you healing, peace, and joy throughout this time and into the new year. We look forward to working with you in the years to come and to changing the world together.
Gratefully,
The Praxis Project Team
