About me

Introduction The Community Accountability Learning to Action Group was a study group for two-spirited, queer and trans folks in Toronto in 2010/2011. We came together to learn about the practice of community accountability and transformative justice, in order to learn strategies to create safer communities without the prison industrial complex. We are committed to developing the knowledge, skills and capacities of our communities to intervene in and end violence (including child abuse, sexual violence and intimate partner violence) without state interventions (such as policing and prisons) as these interventions lead to more violence rather than safety and self-determination. We also believe that our savvy communities have the creativity, resources and care to hold each other accountable when violence occurs and in changing the political and social structures that reinforce oppression and therefore reinforce violence. We have a big bold vision for transformed relationships, communities and the world—and we know that this transformation will happen when we build it, brick-by-brick.
