Hi friends,
Part of what I do after hours as an abolitionist healthcare worker and researcher is organize & strategize on tangible ways we can divest from oppressive care practices while simultaneously building collectivist alternatives to gradually “starve the beast” that is the modern capitalist healthcare system.
To express my gratitude to the to the kind souls who pay to support this newsletter & mutual aid efforts- I’d like to share a recording of a workshop I led for physicians & mental health care providers who are interested in bridging science with social justice & practicing medicine through a political framework. I’ve also given iterations of this workshop to general audiences & people interested in taking a collectivist approach to managing their health. This particular version of the workshop has some emphasis on psychiatry as a field but it applies broadly to all of medicine/ science.
In the workshop, I break down how the historical colonial foundations of medicine combined with capitalism shape the oppressive approaches that define healthcare and wellness today & what “decolonizing” even means.

Reminder: There are a few spots left in the interactive workshop coming up, if you’d like to join!
Focus: Addressing our systemic, childhood & relational trauma thru a political lens
When: Saturday, August 13, 3-5 PM Central Time on ZOOM
If you cannot attend, you can still purchase the recording & presentation which will be emailed you right after the workshop. You can then email me any questions you have & get responses within the week!
This is an engaging 2 hour workshop to understand + create collectivist solutions to the trauma we all carry from living under capitalism & the oppressive systems it makes profitable
The workshop has 3 parts:
You will be given foundations to understand how your childhood, relational dynamics & oppressive systems you've survived under shape your present behaviors, coping mechanisms, adult relationships & world view
