Transform With Us
We invite you on a journey toward liberation “paved in collective struggle, solidarity, accountability, love, and ‘a million different little experiments’” (Thuma, 2021).
Support Us
In We Do This ‘Til We Free Us, Mariame Kaba writes, “You cannot have safety without strong, empathic relationships with others. You can have security without relationships but you cannot have safety—actual safety—without healthy relationships.” At Just Beginnings Collaborative, we believe that a new shared world is possible for children—for all of us—and that it begins with relationships. In that spirit, we are recruiting people who wish to conspire with us to keep our gaze fixed on the work of transformative child sexual abuse prevention.
For Supporters
We are raising $10 million over the next five years to fund future Activists-in-Residence, resource groups who participate in our transformative engagements, and create learning opportunities with and for children. To support our work now, visit the donate page or contact us directly.
For Organizers
We follow the lead of like-minded organizers. Our vision is a seed nourished by collaboration and germinated at the speed of trust, and our door is always open for dialogue. Please reach out if you are someone working at the intersections of child sexual abuse prevention, transformative justice, and abolition.
For All of Us
Transforming child sexual abuse prevention requires a collective response. We invite you to stay curious, listen deeply, and challenge inevitability by asking:
- What does safety feel like for me and the people I care about?
- What are the conditions or aspects of my community that prevent harm?
- How do I listen to children and understand their experiences?
