Communiversity 2026
Interrupting Criminalization is offering another “Communiversity” series in Brooklyn starting in September and October 2026!
Last year, we partnered with Women Building Up to organize an anti-criminalization Communiversity series. In 2026, Women Building Up will once again host a Communiversity series organized by IC. This time, the focus is Healing Justice (HJ).
As defined by the Kindred Southern Healing Justice Collective, HJ “is a political strategy…to intervene and respond to generational trauma and systemic oppression, and build community/survivor led responses rooted in southern traditions of resiliency to sustain our emotional/physical/spiritual/psychic and environmental well being.”
What is Communiversity?
Communiversities are “non-hierarchical, inclusive, public centers of education for the enrichment and advancement of community life.” Communiversity is a space that encourages us to relate issues back to our personal lives, to ask questions, to have political conversations, to make friends and comrades, and to connect to local organizing.
Registering for Sessions
People based in NYC are invited to register. We also are offering one full day devoted to youth programming on October 24. Please note that the sessions on September 12, 26, and October 17 are for people 18 and over.
Space is very limited and we ask that you not register for sessions unless you are sure you can and will attend. We also invite those who can afford it to donate any amount to help defray our costs. If you cannot afford to donate, you can still register.
Youth Day
October 26 is a special Youth Day session. Youth ages 14 to 17, based in NYC, are invited to apply for these workshops. These workshops are NOT for adults.
The sessions are offered at no cost to youth participants and space is LIMITED. Please only sign up if you are sure that you want to and can participate.
