Saturday Dialogues: Creating a Call-in Culture

Saturday, November 14, 2020 • 11 AM ​​ - 1 PM  •  Online

This space is to support the difficult emotional work of dismantling white supremacy within ourselves and our communities in order to fortify our hearts, minds, and bodies to continue to show up for racial justice. We will provide opportunities to explore internal barriers that are holding us back from living out our desire to work for racial justice and practice how to deeply listen to each other to create a culture that supports calling people into the movement from a place of love. We utilize large group and small group dialogues that are grounded in theories of social change and anti-racist white identity development. We see this space as open to any white person who is interested in honest conversation, reflection, and confrontation with race, racism, and white privilege. This space is intended to be a support to help people to build resilience in order to move into a more active role in dismantling white supremacy.

In the upcoming sessions we will be focusing on exploring how white supremacist culture shows up in our own lives. We will be basing our discussions on Tema Okun's work around White Supremacy Culture. On November 14, we will focus specifically on objectivity and only one right way. You will receive a link to this article when you register.
