Social Change

The world changes when we learn how to move through it in new ways. What are the new ways you are learning to move through the world?

If you are drawn to focus on equity and social justice as your next area of focus, what is the question that holds the most energy for you? If it isn’t named here, what words or images arise for you? Talk to your housemates and Coordinator about what resources are available in your chosen area of focus!

  • How are identities and equity work showing up for you and your Housemates right now?

    What does it look like for you and your Housemates to support growth and hold each other accountable?

    Are there ways in which your House is participating in larger systems that you’d like to examine?

    Your Coordinator has resources available to support you in these conversations.

  • Are there ways you’d like to connect to the history of social change in your city or neighborhood?

    Who were the activists in your area, and who preserves the memory of their work?

    What is the history of indigenous people in your area?

    Are there ways in which you’d like to participate in current work for social change?

    What would it look like to create a social justice map of your city?

  • What’s happening with equity and identity in the world right now?

    How do White supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity and other oppressive systems prosper? How might they be disrupted?

    Where do you find your power for change?

    Your Coordinator has resources available to support you in these conversations.

  • Social change begins with an act of imagination: Seeing the world as it should be. How do you nurture your prophetic imagination?

    What visions of the future bring you energy?

    How do you communicate your envisioned future to others?

    Your Coordinator has resources available to support you in these conversations.

  • Talking about social change isn’t the same as doing social change. But developing a conceptual framework could help you feel more confident in doing equity and justice work.

    Do you have questions about what strategies have worked for others?

    Do you want to explore the obstacles for social change?

    What would you like to know?

    Your Coordinator has resources available to support you in these conversations.

  • Because your background and experience are unique, you might have ideas or questions that haven’t occurred to us yet. What would it take for you to feel comfortable asking for something that hasn’t already been named?

    Your Coordinator would love to help you strategize about bringing a proposal to the group.
