Listen Later

On August 3rd, we had a conversation with Nathan Young and Bennett D. Bennett, founders of 600 & Rising, to address concerns from its Black signatories. It is an insightful discussion that should be listened to through the lens of *Community Accountability. Since the episode was recorded Nathan Young resigned from the organization and they're in the process of restructuring.
*Community accountability is a community-based strategy to address issues within our communities, that may be caused by its members. Community accountability is a process in which a community works together to do the following things :
*Create and affirm VALUES AND PRACTICES that resist abuse and oppression and encourage safety, support, and accountability
*Provide SAFETY AND SUPPORT to community members who are negatively affected that RESPECTS THEIR SELF-DETERMINATION
*Develop sustainable strategies to ADDRESS COMMUNITY MEMBERS’ ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR, creating a process for them to account for their actions and transform their behavior.
*Commit to ongoing development of all members of the community, and the community itself, to TRANSFORM THE CONDITIONS that reinforce oppression and marginalization.
