Our People Gonna Rise!

Lorelei -- If you haven't yet had a chance to partake of this amazing opportunity, 350 Seattle is again hosting the popular series of Undoing Racism workshops facilitated by the Mangrove Collective (women of color trainers from Bellingham and Seattle). You're invited to attend the whole training series of three workshops (encouraged), or any of them that you can!   Register now!  WHEN: Sundays, 2 pm to 8 pm (a light dinner will be served) on March 3, April 7 and May 12. WHERE: Centilia Cultural Center, 1660 S Roberto Maestas Festival St., Seattle 98144. It's accessible and right next to bus and link light rail! Carpool sites can be found on the individual registration pages.  WHAT: These 6-hour workshops will create a safe space for difficult conversations as we come together and commit to ending racism in our climate justice work. The format will be a mix of short presentations of how oppressions (specifically racism) work and how individual experiences can intersect along axes of different oppressions; small group storytelling (longer times with opportunities for deeper sharing and deep listening); large group sharing (shorter and mostly of highlights from small group discussions); and time for individual creative reflection. Attending these workshops will help us have a deeper understanding of racism and climate justice and put that understanding into practice. Join us! March 3: Undoing Anti-Blackness. We'll look at how racism shows up in our lives and community spaces, the history of anti-black racism and how our economy benefits from it, how our differences are used to drive wedges between us, and strategies for working in solidarity with black people and ending racism in our own community. April 7: Allies to Immigrants. We'll explore how our economy benefits from displacement and migration; the impact of displacement policies, war, colonization, and global poverty policies; and the current fronts of struggle for immigrants/migrants/refugees today. May 12: Solidarity with Natives. We'll examine the idea of indigenous sovereignty and the history of the U.S. and tribal governments; concepts of settler colonialism and genocide; removal policies; and environmental justice as part of de-colonization and restoring sovereignty. You may sign up for any one, and are encouraged to attend all three.   Read more and find registration links here.
