Plan For Liberation

I developed Plan for Liberation as a digital library and resource for planners seeking to plan with a revolutionary and liberatory pedagogy.

          
I argue that planning should make its political orientation explicit. Planning as a political practice should operate under historical and dialectical materialist, decolonial, and abolitionist practices, political philosophies, and methods. Planning needs a philosophical and political reorientation from its traditional neoliberal pedagogy and toward a practice and theory of oppression, historical and dialectical materialism, abolition, decolonization, and degrowth.

Plan for Liberation explores how planning should be used to critically interrogate social, political, and economic history and expose class, race, gender, sexuality, environmental, climate, and disability antagonisms against capital and the state to further revolutionary and systemic change.

Planning should be the instrument through which full social, economic, political, and relational change, a change to how we live, and a change to how we view our relationship to land, property, and one another are realized to address our climate, democracy, wealth, resource, race, class, and gender inequities, and political-economic existential crises.
