At Justice Movement we offer intersectional social justice training and consulting to level up your community or company. We work with individuals, organizations, NGOs, corporations, and collectives.
Dismantling oppression, embracing responsibility, and enacting change.
Training Description
Level 1: Peer Space Holder Training.
Hold space for discussions, round tables, and structured peer-led meeting groups. Organize demographic groups for unpacking privilege, embracing responsibility, and strategize how to bring more awareness to your communities.
Learn to be a Peer Space Holder and processing maven. Advance your practice by advancing your understanding of social justice, privilege and oppression. Learn to effectively be a space holder for peers doing the difficult work of processing systemic oppression. Embrace the important role of allyship by weaponizing your own privilege. Confidently turn conversations about race, class, gender, and other isms into meaningful connection rather than frustrating arguments. Strategize how to hold structured meeting groups in your community to build accountability long term.
What to Expect
This training includes 40 hours of facilitated learning, engaging and connecting over the course of 3 months.
Beyond the 40 hours of facilitated time together participants can expect to make time for journaling, reflection, reading and/or listening assignments between session homework as well time to connect and reflect in small groups.
At Justice Movement we strive to vary our teaching methods and keep things interesting and accessible for a variety of learning styles. We rarely lecture or talk for a long time, and lean heavily on intimate small group sharing, images and tools, and a variety of media (podcasts, articles, videos, poems, etc) for homework. We take breaks during long sessions, and encourage everyone to do what their body needs in order to focus. We also welcome your participation, and love to share the mic. Please let us know if you need specific accommodations, learning tools, or support in order to stay engaged and participate as comfortably as possible.

How much should I pay for a sliding scale course?
Sliding scale takes into account your financial situation and circumstances when setting tuition. Sustaining is the higher end of the scale and intended for those with stable incomes and the ability to save. Your ability to support at the higher end allows the course to offer sliding scale tuition! If the "sustaining" option is not a good fit for you, select general, the default investment amount or accessible, intended for students, and others who are getting by but don’t have much extra in their budget. For those with little-to-no income, especially in these difficult economic times, Guest passes are available. If a payment plan would make the course more accessible to you, select Payment Plan and write to us with what will work best for you. If you have the ability and are keen to pay for your spot and one or more others select the Redistributive option.

*Participant Witness
Are those who feel they are entering the space with more experience living with marginalized identities. We recognize that for those in this role, sharing those lived experiences is deeply valuable, and requires more emotional labor. We honor that labor. It is always invited, never expected. As you sign up, please select the “participant witness” option in the registration form, and let us know what feels best for you to contribute from zero on up. We benefit from your added voice. We like to remind everyone that all of our identities are intersectional - by this we mean that we are all a combination of our many identities (race, ethnicity, gender-identity, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, immigration status, physical and mental ability, body type, body size, religion, political beliefs and etc.). Most of us are not fully marginalized or fully privileged in society. Most of us experience a combination of both privilege and marginalization as we move through life.We believe that all of us have something to gain from working on Allyship and delving into areas in which we are less aware.
