Event
Anti-Racism Learning Session with Taylor McNallie
Wednesday March 22 - 6pm - event will last 2-4 hours depending on group engagement.
Tickets are available through Brown Paper Tickets at this link. A survey and the Zoom link will be sent out to those with tickets 24 hours before the event. Please fill out the survey ASAP so Taylor can gauge where participants are at on this topic.
Tickets are a recommended $30 per person, though a sliding scale has been provided to allow people to pay as little as $5 per household, and as much as you would like.
This is more than just training. This is an opportunity to begin your life-long commitment to anti-racism. Education is the most powerful weapon to change the world.
Through anti-racism learning circles, individuals can better understand how some groups continue to face barriers in terms of wealth, access to opportunity and access to power in general. Through these exercises, our team can create a safe space for both us and participants to actively engage in conversation and learning, understanding each of our own experiences through an anti-racist lens. Think of it as an opportunity to call-IN rather than call-OUT. Its your moment to ask the hard questions in a space of non-judgement, understanding that we all hold unconscious biases as a result of white supremacy and anti-Blackness running rampant in our society.
Some of the topics you can expect in these discussions include:
History
The roots of racism
White supremacy: what it looks like and its effects
Equity, diversity and inclusion
Identifying and addressing racial harassment/microaggressions
Understanding and addressing unconscious bias
Creating inclusive spaces
Navigating race, equity and privilege
Broadening culture awareness
Fostering growth
How to provide opportunities and equity to BIPOC communities
Opportunity to ask questions
Whatever else that may come up in the moment
