“…Contemporary United States society is marked by exacerbated economic inequity and deep sociopolitical polarization (Kelkar, 2019; Wolff, 2017). A consequence of this divisive context is a heightened sense of precarity, particularly among marginalized communities (Bullock et al., 2020; Lemke, 2021). Low‐income individuals are increasingly susceptible to homelessness, food insecurity, inadequate healthcare, and other harsh consequences of poverty (Piketty & Saez, 2014).…”

“…Low‐income individuals are increasingly susceptible to homelessness, food insecurity, inadequate healthcare, and other harsh consequences of poverty (Piketty & Saez, 2014). Additionally, BIPOC, disabled, and LGBTQIA+ individuals are more vulnerable to hate crimes, as well as legal battles relevant to their human rights, that can heighten a sense of insecurity (Balsamo, 2020; Lemke, 2021). Within this context, there is growing need to develop and foster practices that promote care and justice for marginalized communities.…”

Contemporary United States society is marked by exacerbated economic inequity and deep sociopolitical polarization, which increases a sense of precarity among marginalized communities. There is growing need to develop and foster practices that promote care and justice for marginalized communities. Organizational settings designed with the intent of supporting marginalized communities may possess unique knowledge related to actualizing care and promoting justice. Through analysis of ethnographic field notes and qualitative interviews conducted with 22 participants at the organization, this study examines organizational policies and practices of everyday decision-making at a drop-in center for women and gender non-conforming people in Washington State, USA. Findings document how policies and practices at the center promote care and justice for diverse marginalized groups. Implications for promoting equitable values in social settings more broadly are discussed.

In this paper we explore the concept of socially accountable SFL praxis in designing, conducting, and disseminating participatory work with minoritized youth and communities. Using a reflexive methodology, we explore our often-failed attempts at developing a socially accountable SFL praxis in the southeast of the United States to support minoritized youth and their educators. Specifically, we reflect on (1) our biases, theoretical predispositions, assumptions, and power relations vis-à-vis the researched, and (2) on how these aspects affected every stage of the research, from the disciplinary framing of the research questions, the choice of the research methodology, to how we presented our findings. The article concludes with an emphasis on socially accountable SFL praxis as a pivotal approach to strengthen and support minoritized communities within the context of structural inequality.
