White Allyship Virtual Discussion Group

This group will provide a space for white folks (and anyone who relates to the work of white folks and benefits from similar privilege) to learn to dismantle their privilege together.

This group will focus on:

• developing an understanding of anti-racist frameworks and practices

• identifying our privilege and finding ways to leverage it to further anti-racist practices, policies, and reparations

• locating our own biases and setting up plans to self-educate and combat these biases

• learn strategies for addressing racist behavior in other White folks, including having hard conversations

• creating longterm, sustainable anti-racist lifestyle plan and holding ourselves accountable for sticking to those plans

• reflecting on the process of dismantling our White privilege and supporting each other in this work

This group meets weekly for 90 minutes on Zoom for a 9-week cycle. Want to see what we will be working on? Check out the White Folks Workbook for an overview of each week.

This group runs on a quarterly cycle. Check the link below for our events on Eventbrite.

BIPOC Activism Virtural Discussion Group

This weekly group will provide a series of learnings, practices, and reflections that are designed to heal, inquire, and empower communities of color over the course of 8 weeks of virtual meetings. The activities focus on connecting BIPOC folks with their ancestry, exploring bodily practices to help reconcile historical racial trauma in the body, reprogramming internalized patterns of thinking under White Supremacy Culture, and recognizing intersections of race, gender, and class. This group acknowledges the common racialized experiences between groups that identify as BIPOC, while also noting the nuanced variations that exist based on each group’s history.

In this 8-week community experience, you will:

• Move through intergenerational trauma (individually and as a culture)

• Address the daily indignities in BIPOC experience (biases, stereotypes, discrimination, microaggressions

• Work toward having a healthy body, heart, mind and spirit

• Recognize and celebrate the ancestral origins of wellness

This group meets weekly for 75 minutes on Zoom for an 8-week cycle. Want to see what we will be working on? Check out the BIPOC Activist Workbook for an overview of each week.

Anti-Racist Educators Collaborative Group

The goal of this group is to create a network of support for educators trying to create anti-racist change in their school.

This group will focus on:

• connecting with other educators doing anti-racist work in K-12 school settings

• sharing activities and resources we have come across or used to teach anti-racism to staff or students

• supporting each other in the struggle to engage resistant staff, students, administrators, or families

• problem-solving challenges we are facing as we do this work

• collaborating to generate ideas for actions, activities, and policies to promote anti-racism in schools

• examining curriculum and school culture to promote equity, representation, and engagement from all groups

• creating affinity groups within the group in order to discuss the specific needs and challenges of different educator populations

• building a community to collaborate to make changes on a local and larger basis

This group meets weekly on Zoom on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 PM (Eastern).
