Bridging Screens and Solidarity
In “Our Digital Revolution”, we reclaim space for critical resources that center resilience, resistance, and reimagining within our communities. Here, we share our Decolonial Language Toolkit, designed to honor Indigenous histories and amplify voices often silenced by colonial narratives in global dialogues on climate and justice. This space also uplifts stories of courage and defiance from the SWANA region, showcasing the lived experiences of young women as they confront the intersecting violence of climate destruction, war, genocide, ecocide, and forced displacement. Through these tools and other decolonial offerings, we strive to spark radical conversations, dismantle oppressive systems, and reorient climate action toward collective liberation, sustainability, and justice rooted in equity.
Decolonizing Language Toolkit
Understanding and adopting language that reflects the true diversity, and resilience, and power of our communities.
We take back control of our narrative. Language is a vessel of culture, history, and identity.
By reclaiming language, we can:
Resist Erasure
Uplift Communities
Challenge Power Structures
SWANA Feminist Healing Circle!
The SWANA region is currently facing severe challenges including climate disasters, genocides, wars, and systemic oppression, significantly impacting the emotional and psychological well-being of women and gender-diverse individuals. Activists in countries like Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Morocco, Sudan, Libya, and more carry the burden of collective traumas without adequate support for emotional healing.
This virtual environment will include emotional release through individual reflections and group sharebacks, guided healing meditation, live musical performances, and Q/A with SWANA artists to promote resilience, emotional release, and collective care among participants.
