Intersectionality describes the cross sections of one’s identities – how multiple identities interact and form emergent realities. It looks at bigger systems of oppression such as racism, sexism, homophobia, and asks that we identify where and how they interact with each other.

Spotlight on Housing Instability in Spokane
One of the hardest calls to get as a Legal Assistant is from a young person who does not feel safe in their living situation. It really helps when school counselors and adults in healthcare and social facilities understand legal options and can suggest them to youth, or refer them to us for more assistance. With the overwhelming challenges young people face in accessing housing, they shouldn’t have to face them alone.
Developmentally Appropriate Responses Change Lives
