I’m going through a bit of a personal crisis, or rather going through the motions of an accountability process for a former partner. If any of y’all wanna talk about it or ask me any questions, I’m an open book. I have deeply appreciated the feedback and support thus far. In an effort to remain as transparent as possible, I will post the grievances and demands of accountability I presented to him (Mack) last sunday during a formal intervention-style process after the jump.
(As stated in Mack’s announcement on his facebook and tumblr, him and I are on good terms, I am simply being open in an effort to heal and provide an example of what this process could look like for some.)
Thanks.

Reblogging because all I’ve seen on my dash so far is Mack’s statement, which I feel is important to see but also less relevant than the original statement by Jenna. For those of my followers that aren’t sure what is going on, this is an example of an accountability process, a radical alternative to relying on the police force or criminal justice system to confront social ills in our communities. The idea is that anyone who demonstrates they are an active emotional, physical, psychological threat to someone in our community will then be expected by the community to change that pattern of behavior (meaning they must take concrete steps toward deconstructing their privilege or seeking the psychological help they need, whatever the case may be). It is a process that insists on self-rehabilitation rather than punishment or vengeance, and is enforced through community cooperation with the steps proposed by the person who was wronged.
