ABSTRACT
The work that we do … is really more about a process of humanization, rather than automatically the Batey becoming a site, let's say, for organizing around a particular policy… It's really more based on … how these youth … become part of building this community. And from there, sometimes it does mean that we get involved in different policy, maybe we'll go to Springfield, you know to support undocumented issues, and things like that… The space is decolonizing, and that takes time, and that takes a series of discussions and dialogues, and it takes struggling things out, and it takes not being judgmental with youth, but being a space where they can come together and they can learn, and they can critique, and they can challenge.
