We are a community of queer, non-binary folks, women and people of color who are also athletes, organizers and change makers. Our core is based in Oakland California and spreads out over multiple states. We are a beloved community of practice exploring how physical movement and resistance training can serve as a vehicle to move social justice changemakers towards healing ourselves and our communities.
