What if we could…
🤲🏾 Gather together in a room with beautiful food and music?
🤲🏽 Share our stories without any pressure, fear, or judgment?
🤲🏻 Connect authentically, making space for strangers to become allies?
How healing would that be?
Our Freedom Can’t Wait is a community gathering designed by theater artists, filmmakers, educators, and cultural strategists to help us speak plain and tell the truth about how individual and systemic racism has impacted us. It is our chance as New Mexicans to share openly, listen generously, and practice radical empathy.
This gathering is a celebration of the National Day of Racial Healing, an initiative launched in 2017 by the W.K.Kellogg Foundation. It is a time to contemplate our shared values and create the blueprint together for #HowWeHeal from the effects of racism.
