As African-Americans, we know we have been the recipients of racism. We have seen the different devastating effects it has had on our communities. As a people, we continue the struggle for our rights in many different facets: housing, labor, prison industrial complex, and many more. And that struggle can be hard. And the good news is that we can learn to deeply support each other and accept that support. This workshop will help you: - Learn to give each other a hand: deepen our ability to give and receive support;
- Break through our own self-limiting beliefs taught to us by racism;
- Become a better ally to each other;
- Have fun and build community in a warm environment!
The work you do is critical work, this workshop is to give you uplift for accomplishing that work with more support and more effectively. Training for Change has been offering anti-racism workshops for many years. We have been asked by our constituency to design workshops specifically for people of color. In keeping with this goal, this workshop for African-Americans is the first in a series for specific groups to work on the uniqueness of different groups and go deeper into how racism affects us. Later, we hope to bring groups of people of color more widely together. Interested in getting a workshop on combating internalized oppression for your community? Contact Daniel Hunter, our Program Director, at 612-827-7323.
The workshop begins with registration on Friday at 6pm with dinner and ends Saturday at 9pm. As with all our workshops, this event is an experiential package and so partial attendance is not allowed. Making this commitment to yourself will help you make the most of the workshop.
This workshop costs $75-$225, sliding scale based on income. The fee includes over twelve hours of training, meals during workshop hours, and simple lodging in neighborhood homes for people who request it.
