Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the Kindred Southern Healing Justice Collective, which is also known as the "Kindred Collective," is conceived in 2005. It is a Black feminist-led, multi-racial Southeastern-based network of grassroots abolitionist energy/earth/body-based healers and health practitioners (including birth workers, social workers, nurses, and doctors) who organize to create mechanisms of collective care and safety to intervene and transform conditions of generational trauma and violence from slavery, colonization, state, and interpersonal violence.

They will launch their work in 2006 at the Southeast Social Forum in Durham, North Carolina, and in 2007 at the U.S. Social Forum (USSF) in Atlanta, Georgia. This is also when Kindred coins the phrase "Healing Justice" to describe a framework that recognizes and works to transform the impact of generational trauma within our movements.
