We are excited to announce the launch of the Whole Communities Magazine, "Home is Where the Love Is" in collaboration with The LeadersTrust and Leadership Learning Community.

As we step into the energy of the new year, we are looking forward to a time of growth, reflection, and renewal. As we lean into liberatory leadership amidst this new administration, we must also invest in who we want to become and the world we want to create. We, along with the people in our movement ecosystem, are doing the work to create a more safe, free, and just world.

This magazine is for people firmly entrenched in their quest for liberation and adamant about bringing their formations and communities along. In it, you will find in-depth stories from leaders within the Whole Communities Project ecosystem and their offerings on deepening your commitment to liberatory leadership. We also provide tools and resources to support you on your path.

Visit https://loom.ly/SbQmiMs to view the magazine!

On January 18th, everyday people will gather in DC and across the nation to defend our freedoms and send a clear message: No matter what they try, we will continue to choose solidarity, safety, and each other.

This is a historic gathering of tens of thousands of people united to stand against fascism and defend our democracy. This march is about protecting our rights—bodily autonomy, free speech, and an economy that works for all—while holding public servants accountable to the people they serve. Are you able to join us?
