as a black, agender/queer person and arcology advocate, it is critical that my work around building sustainable, and self-reliant communities be centered around the safety and universal equity of qtbipoc. building these communities is the way we can push the movement for qtbipoc equity and rights forward. Rarely in the urban cities and communities we occupy do we see the holistic valuing of our lives and experiences, especially among our political representatives. what I seek to cultivate with like-minded community members are safe havens where qtbipoc and allied folx who value our humanity within their own praxis, can live, work, leisure, create, organize, lead, parent, and have respite.
in order for us to truly disrupt these systems, we have to collectively stop participating in them. the more we participate in their education, cultural, housing, and economic systems, the more we deny the importance of creating our own systems rooted in equity and placemaking; and the more prevalent those violent and oppressive systems become. let's take back the collective (social, economic, political) people we possess and utilize it to self determine our own safety, equity, economics, and governing laws and legislature.
