Conflict is inevitable–so how do we fortify our relationship to it? What approaches to conflict can we take when it shows up in our organizations and communities? What are some ways philanthropy can strengthen its support for organizations leading transformative justice work?

At Third Wave Fund, we have been dreaming alongside some of the most inspiring organizers and leaders in transformative justice organizing to answer these questions and more. We’re joined by Stas, co-founder of Spring Up, bluelight academy of the arts, and member of the Accountable Futures Fund Advisory Council, and Valleria Miranda-Ferrick, Executive Director and founder of Unity Circles to discuss the work they are leading to deprofessionalize transformative justice and make its teachings more accessible to all. Stas and Valleria also speak to the needs of the transformative justice movement, and how philanthropy can better support the emergence of more transformative justice facilitators and accountability coaches. We also get a great primer of what Third Wave’s Accountable Futures Fund does to co-conspire in these goals, and how it came to be from our Program Officer mai doan.
