<i>The Edge of Each Other's Battles Project brings together social
justice academics and community-based projects to work toward social
change. The Edge Project produces community events, organizes sessions at
academic conferences, and facilitates interdisciplinary, site-specific,
collaboratively designed seminars, conferences, and working groups
on themes related to community history, culture, and politics. It
provides opportunities for scholars to learn from and with other
community members. The Edge Project is inspired by poet-educator-activist
Audre Lorde's vision of cross-community alliance building and organizing
for social justice. The Edge of Each Other's Battles Project operates
under the fiscal sponsorship of the Agape Foundation - Fund for
Nonviolent Social Change. <br><br>
