I get it now
As our co-founder Carlos Kareem Windham has been saying for years, "It’s hard to win a chess match, when your opponent is playing genocide." Empathy, collaborative problem-solving and needs-based negotiation strategies are powerful tools when conflict erupts between individuals who are willing to respect one another’s basic human rights and engage in good faith. However, collaborative conflict resolution strategies can be counterproductive and even cause real harm when applied to situations in which there are extreme power imbalances, structural oppression, bad faith actors or malicious intent. It is impossible to engage in good-faith collaborative problem solving with a government working from a playbook designed to imprison, enslave and murder us. Yet, we must & we will carry on! From February 10 - 26th, Strategy & Solidarity Collective, be engaging in a two week learning lab to share strategies for shifting our approaches to conflict in an increasingly authoritarian landscape. join us strategyandsolidarity.com
