What Should I do Now? Cohort Application

About The Cohort:

These times feel chaotic and overwhelming. Every day brings news of another harmful policy or executive order, leaving many of us feeling powerless and unsure of what to do next.

How do we move forward?

This cohort is designed to help you find your footing. Together, we’ll explore grounding practices, theological and justice frameworks, and—most importantly—your unique context, skills, and priorities. Instead of feeling swept away by every new headline, you’ll build a steady, intentional path toward meaningful action that aligns with who you are.

Justice work is both urgent and a long-term commitment. Real change requires deep investment, skill-building, and sustained relationships. This community will provide you with

a rooted foundation, practical frameworks, supportive connections, and reflective questions

to help you clarify your next steps.

If you're ready to move from overwhelm to focused action, this space is for you. Let’s create a plan for the next year—one that grounds you in purpose and propels you toward justice.

Applications close March 23, 2025.

Getting To Know You

What interests you about joining this cohort? *

Tell us about yourself: some of your work, family, and community context *

What is your job title? A short answer version of this helps with creating small groups. Sometimes we do shared work context breakout rooms. *

How do you currently live into your social justice ethic? *

Share a little about your spiritual life. This is a no judgement zone. We don't care if you go to church, its more about wanting to know where folks are at coming in. *

What questions are you coming in with? What outcomes, skills, experiences would you be hoping for from this cohort? *

Have you participated in any other cohorts or events by Liberated Together? *

The Wednesday evening cohort is for WOC and non-binary folks of color only. I'm considering a Monday at 3:00 pacific/6:00 eastern option. If you are not a WOC that is your only option, if you are a WOC let me know if you would prefer the Monday time if its a possibility.

The cohort meets April 16, 23, 30, May 7, 14, 21 2025 Wednesdays 6pm- 7:30 PM Pacific/ 9pm Eastern. Folks are allowed to miss one session. Can you make these dates? ( WOC and non-binary folks of color only)

Potential Cohort- would meet April 14, 21, 28, May 5, 12, 19 2025. Mondays 3:00 PM Pacific/6:00 Eastern. Folks are allowed to miss one session, would you be able to make these dates. ( Open to all genders and races)

The cohort will be an engaged learning experience with about 90 minutes of reading, reflection, and or online interaction each week, in addition to a zoom gathering every week. The expectation is that you are eager to participate and grow. Can you commit not only the time, but do you have the desire to give mental and emotional energy to this work in this season? I know that all sounds very serious. We do believe in laughter and joy and celebration, but I also believe in not being annoyed by people flaking out. *

The cohort costs $600, you can make 2 payments if that helps. Can you pay this? We believe in paying women of color for their labor, but we also understand that people have different access to resources. So if you can pay, please pay, it makes more scholarship money available for others. If you need a scholarship- please let us know how much scholarship you will need. *

This cohort is a fully affirming space. We celebrate, honor, and love our queer and trans kin. We are for the queering of theology, the queering of all things, and all around being as queer as your heart desires in whatever expression you desire. There are VERY few spaces where queer and trans folks who care about justice and want to nurture their faith can fully be themselves. So please do not apply to be a part of this cohort if you can not fully commit to co-creating this ethos. If you are a part of the cohort will you help co-create this ethos? *

Anything else you want to tell us? Any questions for us?

Liberated Together creates community for Women of Color, Queer WOC, and non-binary folks who have been shaped by Christianity to explore liberated and embodied theology, decolonized approaches to social justice, and radical solidarities across ethnic lines. Healing together, so we can co-create a way forward.
