How we are at the small scale is how we are at the large scale. The patterns of the universe repeat at scale. There is a structural echo that suggests two things: one, that there are shapes and patterns fundamental to our universe, and two, that what we practice at a small scale can reverberate to the largest scale.

LAHSA has major systems transformation toward racial justice to undertake, and the road ahead may seem daunting. Each of the actions included in this document are equal parts fundamentally necessary for change and major efforts unto themselves. It is easy to feel overwhelmed by work ahead. Believe that even the smallest changes in practice toward liberation, care for the humanity in people and repair from harm will ripple and grow to make much larger impacts.
NIS would like to express our gratitude for the partnership we have experienced with the people at LAHSA and members of the lived experience advisory board. We are changed by you; there is so much wisdom and vision in your lives and voices.
