Building Anti-Racism Capacity: A Reflective Workshop for White Legislators and Advocates
Wednesday December 11, 2024 4:30pm - 5:15pm EST
International 4 Breakout
We invite white legislators, advocates, and partners to participate in a reflective space to ground their intentions as allies and co-conspirators with Black legislators and legislators of color in our movement for a multi-racial democracy. This session will be offered twice, on the first and last day of the National Conference. Healing Justice facilitators will hold space for self-introspection and empathy building, foundational skills to combat white fragility and improve the capacity of participants to engage in meaningful anti-racist work in their roles as policymakers, colleagues, and collaborators.

Wednesday December 11, 2024 4:30pm - 5:15pm EST

To get to our long-term vision of an irresistible future where all people have power and agency over their lives, state legislators and advocates must be ready to confront rising authoritarianism in the immediate-term.

Join this informal space to share strategies, ideas, and resources across states to get on the offensive against rising authoritarianism in 2025 and beyond.
