A Powerful Relationship: The Interdependence of Action Research and Social Justice Work

In an age where political and global leaders are making decisions that impact our communities on a very personal level (such as access to produce, water, land, life, education, and healthcare), it is important to take time to think about the need for community to be in conversation with one another in order to address conflicts that are often based in political agendas, political tensions, and political ideologies.We are in a time in which we see tariff wars, immigration policies becoming exclusionary, and land-based wars happening across the globe connected with people we love.As a result we see poverty, bloodshed, and suffering.Many of us, as individual human beings are experiencing feelings of pain, fear, and sadness, and thus, we must acknowledge these feelings and experiences as a community with a voice for collective humanity.
