When someone harms us, we usually want them to own up to it and apologize, right? But when we cause<\/em> harm to others, intentionally or not, is it easy to lay down our defenses and be accountable to them? (Hint: It\u2019s usually not.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s why it\u2019s not easy: Culturally and collectively in the U.S., we tend to lack the conditions, systems, and skills that support harm-doers in engaging with accountability. In this video, experts discuss the reasons that people cause harm, and explore what accountability processes might look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe can support people who do harm by recognizing that we all cause harm,\u201d says Elliott Fukui, a disability justice organizer, facilitator, and trainer. The acceptance of this mighty truth might be a good first step. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This video is part of the Building Accountable Communities video series<\/em> from the Barnard Center for Research on Women<\/em>. It features comments from<\/em> adrienne maree brown, Stas Schmiedt, Lea Roth, Mimi Kim, RJ Maccani, Priya Rai, Mia Mingus, Martina Kartman, Elliott Fukui, Sonya Shah, Rachel Herzing, Shira Hassan, and Ann Russo<\/em>, and was produced by Mariame Kaba, Dean Spade, and Hope Dector.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n More from this series<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n What Are Obstacles to Accountability?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
