As facilitators, we may rely on formal and structured approaches to guide groups to reach their goals and stay on track with clarity and focus. But to facilitate spaces rooted in justice and liberation is to navigate complexity around power and its manifestations within our community with care and presence. Join us on February 11th @ 10am Eastern Time / 4pm Central European Time for a session on Feminist Liberatory Facilitation, a practice rooted in understanding systemic power and creating space grounded in participation, dialogue, and collective agency. Together, we will explore the practice and concepts of feminist facilitation for conducive and healthy conversations, and explore practical ways to incorporate feminist liberatory approaches in our practice as coaches and facilitators of community organizing. This participatory learning workshop is intended for people with experience and background in facilitation and training. It will build on learnings from the Justice in Practice

We’ll explore these updates together, and share what’s coming in 2026 for you and your community. To make sure

As we move through deep uncertainty — politically, socially, and personally — and experience great injustice, many of us have found ourselves questioning how best to respond, and where our leadership is most needed. At times we’ve acted boldly, at times we’ve paused, adapted, or leaned into care. This session is an opportunity to reflect on how we've each acted in response to challenge — and to reconnect with the agency and clarity we need to move forward. Together, we’ll surface the range of ways people across our community have navigated this moment — whether by building bridges and connections, disrupting and raising the stakes, or other meaningful ways — and explore what each of these approaches makes possible. This isn’t about finding the one “right” way to respond, but about learning from the diversity of leadership choices and archetypes that
