Today, after 15 years, we say goodbye to Voices That Shake!. We began as an organisation running radical youth courses. While our courses and events evolved from their initial inception, they never deviated from our praxis and principles. 🫶🏿

We’ve been honoured to have been a space for young people to find their voice; and to later support facilitators and youth workers to continue this work. Voices that Shake! means bringing people together to develop creative responses to injustice. We remain proud of our choice to commit to a chosen ending, on our terms, and in our way, knowing that this work will still continue. 🔥

We want to express a gargantuan amount of gratitude to all of our staff and contractors, past and present, organisations and collectives we’ve worked with, everyone who has attended, participated and helped shape a Shake! event, bought our books, downloaded our resources, read our pieces on our website, and engaged with us on social media. Collectively, together, we will still be dismantling, visioning, re-building and cultivating a future praxis and embodiment of transformative justice and systemic change. Today, forever and always. ❤️‍🔥
