2022 in Review

As 2022 comes to an end, we want to take a moment to say thank you for all of your support this year which has enabled us to have a productive and successful year. A dedicated team has invested time to take our Justice and Inclusion Toolkit: For Young Children and Their Grownups project and create 7 online workshops on how to incorporate anti-bias education philosophies into their teaching practice.  We want to recognize their efforts and acknowledge the power of this collective effort.These resources are for all adults in the lives of young children, and in particular early childhood care and education providers and parents. The Toolkit and workshops include information, activities, and resources for supporting children's identity and addressing oppression in the six core identity areas of: Culture and Language, Race and Skin Color, Gender, Family Structure, Economic Class, and Abilities. This project was funded with grants from, local and international Social Venture Partners.

We have also spent a lot of time this year broadening our online presence through our new website and social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram. With technical support from SVP, we are working hard to maintain our website and social media platforms where people will be able to hear more about us, access upcoming resources, and purchase the new Toolkit. In 2023, expect to see more frequent postings for the Threads of Justice Collective.

Despite continuing covid challenges, Threads of Justice Collective has returned to  providing in-person professional development training for childcare providers in the Portland metro area. Most notably, the Celebration of the Life of Hadiyah Miller and a Gathering of People in Early Childhood Education who are invested in Justice and Inclusion in December 2022. In the fall of 2022, the Threads of Justice Collective lost one of our founding members, Hadiayh Miller, and our collective heart is broken with this loss of our sister-leader, friend and comrade in the fight for justice and inclusion for young children. In honor of Hadiyah and her legacy, this will become an annual event hosted by the Threads of Justice Collective.

While we reflect on the wonderful year behind us, we are focused on the great year ahead of us. At the Celebration of the Life of Hadiyah Miller and a Gathering of People in Early Childhood Education who are invested in Justice and Inclusion, we put our minds together to reflect on What are the most important issues, needs and priorities children and families face in regard to specific aspects of their identity? In 2023, we plan to take those collective thoughts and use them to create an additional series of online learning opportunities for adults caring for young children.

A gift of $25 can provide the Threads of Justice Collective an opportunity to provide stipends to the team of people maintaining the website and social media to create regular posting to share the tools we create. A gift of $50 or more will provide the Threads of Justice Collective the opportunity to create additional online learning opportunities for adults caring for young children.

If you are willing and able to contribute, you can easily give online by following the link or by mailing a check to: Threads of Justice Collective, 1130 NW First St, Gresham, OR  97030
