This will be an introduction to the concept of pods, a group of people who support you when you’ve experienced trauma or harm or if you’ve caused harm. Mia will take us through the history of pods, how they can be used, lessons learned, and how to map your pods.
Mia Mingus is a community educator and builder for transformative justice and disability justice. In 2020 she founded and leads SOIL: A Transformative Justice Project which works to build the conditions for TJ. She is passionate about building the skills, relationships and structures that can transform violence, harm and abuse within our communities and that do not rely on or replicate the punitive system we currently live in.
