Welcome to the devi co-op (tdc)! the devi co-op (tdc) is a grassroots QTBPOC-led survivor cooperative, designed to incubate radical solutions to end and prevent gender-based violence at its root causes. Cooperative members firmly ground themselves in lenses of transformative justice, abolition feminism, and cooperative labor politics to inform their organizing. The co-op emerged from several intersecting needs to build a Southern liberatory home for survivors of gender-based and state violence. This space is dedicated to organizing for survivor’s rights and implementing healing-focused, community-centered, and consent-based methods to prevent and end gender-based violence.

The hub officially formed December 2020, initially as a dreamscape between co-founders E Lim (they/them) and Jenani Srijeyanthan (they/she/them). In February 2021, TDC secured a fiscal sponsorship with Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Atlanta, as well as a subject-matter sponsorship from Raksha, Inc. That same month, TDC formally launched its Healing Justice Lab and Survivor Defense Project.
