👉 New on the #USFBlog 🥂 In this guest blog, Naama Blatman, Sage Ponder & Suraya Scheba reflect on "Reparative Urban Futures," a #USF-supported workshop bringing scholars and community organisers together to rethink infrastructure, abolition, and repair from the ground up. 📖 ow.ly/tHov50XMIY2
Flyer with USF logo for the USF blog "Reparative urban futures: reconfiguring infrastructures and institutions towards liberation" and the quote "“Communities are already doing the critical work of repairing urban infrastructure while envisioning pathways towards reparative futures. As scholars, we must go beyond simply learning and documenting what communities are doing; they are not just knowledge holders. They are knowledge producers and grounded city planners. “ on a  Illustration from ‘Threads and Seeds,’ zine prepared for the Reparative Urban Futures community forum, by Anna Carlson, shared with permission.
