Happy Holidays from The Praxis Project

Dear Praxis Family,

We have reach the end of a year like no other. As we close out 2021, let us reflect on the things we have collectively accomplished together. Let us honor the legacy of those who have passed on, remember the lives lost to unnecessary violence, and give space for grief. Let us also celebrate the cycle of life and those we welcomed into this world this past year.

In 2021, you brought our communities together in incredible acts of solidarity and unity, and more than ever, a collective centering of healing justice. Your on-going organizing efforts keep our communities connected as the pandemic rages on, provide critical community support, and gives us radical hope for the future. The one thing we are certain about is that the work of community power building is the sustainable, dignified approach to health, equity, and racial justice. As we begin to see the necessary narrative shift in health equity and racial justice, with many municipalities and jurisdictions declaring racism as a public health crisis and a broader understanding of the systems underlying inequities emerging, The Praxis Project will continue to advocate for community-led and community-centered solutions. We will honor and amplify the decades-long work of base-building, grassroots organizers towards better health and justice.

As the year closes, we hope you a safe, well, and joyful holiday season and a happy new year. Thank you for the love and care you have brought to our work this year whether it was in the arts and self-care healing sessions, Relax with Praxis, learning circles, or Roots & Remedies convening. We look forward to leading with love and continuing our journey towards liberation with you in 2022. If you haven't already, check out the beautiful graphic notes from Roots & Remedies of the beautiful community we have made with each other.

Gratefully,

The Praxis Project Team
