@mattmcgorry : Repost from @mia.mingus (and I suggest you follow her!) - “we must not only take action when full-blown violence happens, we must also take action to change the many (seemingly small) conditions that contribute to violence—and can often prevent violence. because harm, violence and abuse do not happen in a vacuum and they are supported by dynamics that we often ignore or avoid. . if you can’t give or receive feedback (or even reflections or feelings) with the people you’re in relationship with, then you are setting yourself up (and your relationships) to be unaccountable. you are reinforcing and contributing to a normalized culture of unaccountability, which directly feeds a culture of harm, violence and abuse. . (and this goes for all kinds of relationships: friend, partner, date, child, parent, coworker, housemate, relative, mentor, etc.) . so, do the work now to make sure that people feel and know they can come to you with feedback, reflections, feelings, questions. and do your own self work to make sure you can make good on that offer. and vice versa, bc i know for many of folks, they can receive, but they don’t know how to share how they truly feel with the people in their lives. . because if we can’t address the small things between us, how will we be able to address the big things? (and also, addressing the small things can help to prevent the big things.) . if we want other people to be accountable, then we must also practice accountability. every day, every moment. in small and big ways. we must also *proactively* build accountable lives and that starts w building relationships where we can talk about and *practice* accountability w each other. because the quality of our relationships is a key condition that can help us create (or block) the conditions that support transformative justice. 🌿 . .
