Solidarity Syllabus
The Solidarity Syllabus is an ongoing blog series at BMP and SolidarityIs. Each syllabus is an invitation to slow down and visit (or re-visit) movement stories, with a few resources and reflection questions to get you started. Unlike a traditional syllabus, there are no due dates or grades here—just a chance to spend some time with movement lessons, elders, ancestors, art, and stories that may offer wisdom and grounding in these uncertain times. Check out a few of the syllabi below, and find more here.
