What would it mean for accountability to be a restorative process that you no longer had to avoid, fear, or wield like a weapon when you or others contributed to oppression? Today I’m sharing 3 mistakes you need to avoid so you can practice accountability more effectively in your anti-oppression advocacy.
An essential part of building an anti-oppressive world and living out your justice values is your ability to acknowledge & correct your mistakes when you cause harm by participating in the oppression of marginalized people.
But because it is often difficult to distinguish accountability mechanisms from a modern witch-hunt or a true-crime drama, we typically fail to practice accountability appropriately, if at all.
Without justice-centered accountability practices, the harm that Black, queer, and other marginalized people experience as a result of inequity goes unchecked and unchanged. Or worse, it replicates.
So what does it really mean to be accountable for harm (both proactively and reactively) and how can you start using this practice as a tool to disrupt white supremacy and other systems of oppression?
