"Four Hundred years of colonialism around the Earth was a process of conscious choice supported by manipulated facts on the part of the colonizers. These 400 years have had tragic consequences for Indigenous peoples. The consequences are more than mere conquest or the exercise of tyrannical power, slavery, and genocide; they go to forced cognitive extinction. After the British treaties, the colonizers created a systemic colonialism and racism that estranged Indigenous people from their beliefs, language, families, and identities; they deprived Indigenous people of their dignity, their confidence, their souls, and even their shadows." ~James Sa’ke’j Youngblood Henderson from his essay “The Context of the State of Nature,” in Reclaiming Indigenous Voice and Vision

We attended More Human: Life, Democracy, and Connection in the Age of AI. Hosted by Murmuration.org a non-profit focused on civic engagement and technology's role in democracy. They emphasize collective participation in civic life.

Wondering how our role as RJ practitioners would be relevant in this conversation and in the age of AI, we came away confident that human connection, community, and empathy are incredibly relevant in this moment!

Thank you from and TheRithmProject.org for sharing the findings of how young people are grappling with the fast pace of AI. We need to talk about it!

All the speakers gave us hope! We have agency. We can shape a world in which AI helps build more just systems, understand each other better, and support democracy.
