Meeting Theme:
Mzwandile Nkutha and Steve Schallert will introduce the work of Iziko Lamaqabane and its pilgrimage to heal colonial wounds, disrupt systemic violence, and cultivate faith formed by and expressed in liberative praxis. By working in relational solidarity with urban peace and justice practitioners throughout Africa, Iziko serves those active at the site of struggle by facilitating spaces of retreat, exchange, and collective learning grounded at the intersection of anabaptism, black liberation theology & critical consciousness.
During this CPN call Mzwandile and Steve share about their experience cultivating solidarity both on the grassroots level and also inter-culturally and cross-continentally. After introducing some frameworks Iziko has found helpful, meeting participants will go into breakout rooms to further explore how we have and can show up in relational solidarity one with another.
Discussion questions:
How do we walk with one another meaningfully across cultures and continents in the work of peace? What positive examples have you seen or experienced?
What considerations must we prioritize to show up effectively as allies one with another? What core needs and interests (acknowledged or unacknowledged) must we be aware of in our efforts to cultivate solidarity?
