What if justice were normal? What and who will it take to imagine new habits, processes, and structures that default to loving care, anti-bias, pro-Earth, and solidarity? Across the globe, people — from activists and entrepreneurs, to impact investors and artists — are asking these questions and practicing change in their organizations, communities, and homes. We’ll hear from leaders Dr. Gillian Marcelle, Sikowis Nobiss, Rodney Foxworth and Mitra Kalita.
To write these leader’s stories into the record, Make Justice Normal co-founder, Monique Aiken, takes us on their journeys of action and the shared behaviors we can all take to build a future where justice is normal. Each conversation will challenge your thinking around topics such as: narrative change, media and journalism, truth telling, bias, finance, business & entrepreneurship, Indigenous rights and finding joy, and establish a vision of the world without the constraints of injustice, paving the way toward liberation.
