An Invitation to Be Part of What’s Possible
In the face of burnout, backlash, and deep injustice, it’s easy to feel like the world is unraveling faster than we can respond. But amid the noise, something powerful is taking root.
Another way is possible.
At the nINA Collective, we’re not just holding space for reflection, we’re building infrastructure for liberation. Our latest community conversation and the launch of our Five-Year Brief reaffirm what we know to be true: Justice work is not only necessary it can be healing, connective, and sustainable.
A Bold Vision: Introducing the Five-Year Brief
We recently launched our Five-Year Brief, Project 2025: Another Way Is Possible. This visionary document outlines a roadmap for the next five years, grounded in the belief that racial justice is not only urgent, it is achievable when we move together with intention and care.
The brief focuses on seven bold commitments:
Sustainable Structures – building financial and operational systems aligned with justice
Co-Created Learning Spaces – cultivating environments for intergenerational knowledge sharing
Solidarity Networks – deepening partnerships across movements
Wellness as Practice – centering healing, rest, and care in our work
Developing Leaders – nurturing new practitioners in decolonial and transformative approaches
Intergenerational Power – lifting up youth voices and building unity across age groups
Reclaiming Rigor – valuing lived experience and radical analysis as essential data
This isn’t just a strategic plan, it’s an invitation to a different way of being. One rooted in our collective wisdom and shared commitment to justice. The following principles will be key to advancing this vision:
Community as Healing
There is a deep need to hold space for one another, not just in times of celebration or crisis, but as a practice of ongoing mutual care. We need to cultivate authentic learning spaces that are not performative.
The Importance of Visioning
Even amid exhaustion, disillusionment, or backlash, resistance, creativity, and imagination offer us a different way forward. The call is clear: Let’s not only critique the systems that harm us — let’s build the ones that liberate us.
Practice Over Perfection
Whether through naming tensions, asking hard questions, or showing up imperfectly but consistently, we must keep leaning into the work. Transformation is a process.
Collective Learning and Accountability
Justice is a shared responsibility. We don’t need to have all the answers, but we do need to stay in it, together, with honesty, humility, and fierce commitment.
Want to Be Part of This Work?
This isn’t work reserved for experts, scholars, or activists. It’s for all of us. For the person facilitating brave conversations at work. For the auntie raising the next generation. For the youth dreaming beyond the limits placed on them.
You are not too late. You are not too new.
There is space for your voice. Your ideas. Your presence.
We’re building something that can hold us all — with integrity, with love, and with vision. And we want you with us.
