Running Time: 81 minutes

We, being young people of color from the seven neighborhoods, help us overstand how much pain our communities have been through and continue to endure in regards to historical, structural and interpersonal dynamics, displacement and hurt. This movement isn’t only for people who need to individually heal from oppression but to know we can’t heal alone, building trust amongst ourselves is the first part of our healing but also making that a political activity. The Healing Justice Movement is personal because we are a part of that hurt community. While we build love with each-other we’re attempting acts of self healing that aids collective transformation. With this youth led Movement, we are showing our commitment to human dignity and equity. We Came to Heal!
