SPOTLIGHT FEATURE
Community is Messy
By Joseph Ramirez

 

The CCC has always engaged dialogues on how colonization has manifested and influenced us and what decolonization means and looks like. But "decolonization" has been used on almost every setting and movement to counter any form of oppressive or marginalizing entity of power. We have seen through vast conferences and workshops on how to "decolonize" oneself and our community, making "decolonization" a check box, a title for our programs, a metaphor for many of our actions. - Read More
