How can we design for equity and justice in our community partnerships? This field guide's equity-based approach provides readers with a specific vision for enacting social justice work with community partners. This book explores how writing partnerships can support a community's resources and strengths while building its internal capacity. When we view our partnerships as community-building enterprises, we can better commit to creating conditions for reciprocity and mutuality with our partners. Writing partnerships can leverage community-building approaches to support local grassroots activism, decolonization efforts, co-resistance movements, and social change initiatives.
