Conversation: Spiritual Resistance: Bridging Organizing & Healing
Check out the corresponding conversation with Francisca (episode 21). We talk about: her spiritual path in IFA, how she was politicized and got her start in organizing, healing traditions in immigrant Latinx & Chicanx communities, the resilience of undocumented folks in the face of loss and grief, tending to pain politically and personally, community ritual, bridging healing and organizing and some specific challenging asks for organizers and healers to help build that bridge.
