Our vision
We are a student collective engaging in consciousness raising and multimedia storytelling using an Ethnic Studies lens.
By creating a fugitive space for political education and creative resistance, we are reimagining and building toward an abolitionist, feminist world that centers our collective well-being.
What we do
Political education: We collectively interrogate, unsettle, and dismantle the narratives weâve been conditioned to absorb, situating ongoing and historical processes in their structural contexts. We refuse to reduce racialized and marginalized communities to pain as we center their complex knowledges, desires, and histories.
Multimedia storytelling: We share (counter)stories through multimedia (photography, zines, digital artwork, etc.) to understand our positionality, initiate critical dialogues, and relate across differences.
Community engagement: We wage care through community gatherings, fundraisers, and mutual aid.
We are occupying the unceded homelands of the Acjachemen and Tongva peoples who, in the face of ongoing settler colonialism and violence, continue to resist and care for their ancestral lands as they have for the past 8,000 years. We acknowledge the painful history of violent colonial invasion and occupation of Acjachemen and Tongva land, beginning with the brutal mission system during the Spanish colonial period, followed by Mexico and the united states. We recognize that our stories today only occurred because of land theft, genocide, and the enslavement of Indigenous peoples. Our shared history drives our commitment to envisioning and working toward decolonial solidarity that encompasses justice, self-determination, and belonging for Indigenous peoples.
