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.

Purple States Project
Thursday December 12, 2024 12:00pm - 1:00pm EST
International 4 Breakout
It’s been six weeks since another consequential election and in spite of a national fixation on federal races, state legislatures continue to be the most important locus of both forward progress and anti-democratic backsliding. In this session, we’ll gather in the aftermath of the election to regroup and strategize about how state leaders can build a democracy that works for all of us while blocking the rise of authoritarianism in state houses.

In this session, participants will explore the different leadership styles of elected officials, including their own leadership style and how it may change depending on issue or context and how they most authentically show up to the job of being an elected official. The participants then work collaboratively to discuss the strengths of various leadership styles and tensions that can arise within group dynamics and also the importance of building teams that include different approaches to governing.
