About this event
This Actionshop starts from the belief that racism exists, often in covert ways. It also assumes that while interrupting racism is not always easy, it is a crucial part of our work for racial justice.Racial microaggressions happen every day – at the grocery store, at a family
gathering, in our neighborhood and workplace.
We will:
•Give voice to what gets in the way for each of us and what is gained by interrupting racism.
•Introduce 3 strategies for interrupting in different contexts.
•Use real-life scenarios to practice interruptions in the skin you’re in.
While these skills are transferable to sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression, we will keep the focus on racism for this Action shop.
