It's also for people who already do anti-racism work but who want to enhance their skills and deepen their commitment.

Learning to see the hidden dynamics of class Class is everywhere. It influences how we feel about ourselves and how we treat each other. It influences who we make friends with, who we partner with and who we do our activism with. That's why we've created a workshop to give activists a hand with the mystery of class dynamics. The goal is stronger activism for deeper social change. Spend two eye-opening days with George Lakey and you'll see clearly why class matters.
