We enclosed this picture–because this is how Kriti’s work makes us feel: all shining inside. This link opens onto a beautiful zine created by Kriti Sharma, as a younger woman of color who sees the importance of younger activists drawing from lessons on the lesbian feminist movement in the US during the 1970’s. She has used ideas from the book ‘Lesbian Ethics’ by Sarah Lucia Hoagland, and created an easy to read and use zine that summarizes a lot of the information. (Don’t worry…Sarah Lucia knows about the zine and loves it!) We have found this to be a really useful tool for some of our community groups to spend an evening with–just sharing and talking and growing. Excellent for helping groups to think more about conflict transformation too!! Kriti tells us that the format is hard to read online, so print it out if you want it!!! lesbian-ethics-booklet.pdf

Suzanne Pharr’s Article: “Inside/Out: Democratic Participation and Economic Justice In Our Own Organizations”

“Inside/Out” is an excellent article written by one of SONG’s founders. It can be used as a tool for groups and organizations to ask ourselves questions about how we are doing our work, and what our methods and processes mean for the work of building a movement.
