What does "Pro Liberation" mean?
Pro Liberation is the concept of coming together as community creating a patchwork majority, and committing to doing our own part daily towards justice, equity, and liberation for all. It means taking accountability for our individual parts of the casual violence that is the foundation of US culture
Every individual is at a different place with their understanding of the interpersonal and institutional harm that we all participate in every day.
The more deeply we understand the various intersections we each embody, the more we are able to acknowledge our own privileges, empowering ourselves to actively use those privileges. When we consciously use the power we have in the world, we shift closer to the goal of a society that is built on inclusion of everyone involved.
What Is Intersectionality?
Intersectionality is the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as physical ability, class, race, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.
For example: a bisexual Inuk woman experiences the intersections of being indigenous, a part of the lgbt+ community, as well as a woman, all of which are identities marginalized by the US government, as well as broader US culture.
What is Privilege?
The word privilege speaks to where there is a lack of obstacles in a person's life.
A wealthy, Black, heterosexual man likely experiences racism on a regular basis, but his reproductive health care isn't likely to be affected by the government's attempts at banning viagra.
A poor, white woman is going to experience both state and federal governments attempting to limit her reproductive rights, and she might face classist discrimination, but she will never experience the particular flavor of prejudice that comes with racism.
The better people are at assessing which of the systemic oppressions help or at least aren't a limiting factor to them personally, the more folks are able to help shift the social constructs around harmful policies, laws, and interpersonal rules.
