Collective liberation

Collective liberation describes an approach to organizing that recognizes how all fights for justice are deeply connected; the understanding that because all systems of oppression rely on each other to function and maintain the status quo, we must form a united front to collectively dismantle these systems and create a more just world for all - People & Planet, adapted by Michelle Xie
