Praxis's work is rooted in social justice and customized to your group’s unique goals, environment, and members. Collectively, our team brings many decades of experience in advocacy, training development and facilitation, and grassroots organizing to your project. We ground our work in the practice of cultural humility - striving always to engage with others “humbly, authentically, and from a plac
e of learning” - rather than cultural competence. Our business centers queer people, trans and nonbinary people, Black people, Indigenous people, and all people of color (BIPOC), women, and femmes. Our team not only reflects these identities, but prioritizes intentional listening to and feedback from communities who are most impacted by homophobia, transphobia, racism, and sexism. Just as we encourage our clients to do the radical work of changing their team cultures, we too are invested in continuous growth. We believe that marginalized people should be paid for the labor of educating peers and colleagues about how to engage with them from a place of respect. We also believe that marginalized people should not be solely responsible for this labor; to this end we practice a dual facilitator model and strive to pair facilitators with complementing dominant and target identities. This also means we offer all our services on a sliding scale so they are financially accessible to anyone who is committed to anti-oppression work. Finally, we are committed to using our access to open doors for people who are not typically included in these conversations. For us, this looks like collaborating with other groups who share our values to build power and capacity. It also looks like mentoring and training queer and trans young people and early professionals of color so that they can benefit from the work of advocacy and training.
