Dear Liberators,

The holiday season is often a time for connection and celebration, but it can also be fraught with challenges, especially when family traditions or conversations uphold oppressive systems. From subtle microaggressions to overtly harmful practices, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed during gatherings that seem to clash with your liberation values.

Navigating these dynamics requires balance—honoring your boundaries while also deciding when and how to address the systems at play. In this Liberation Lesson, we’ll explore how to approach the holidays with intention, using the LIBERATE framework to align your actions with your values.
