2:30 - The Practice -Black Lives Matter with Chanelle Helm
The Practice - We talk about being intently purposeful in anti-racist social justice work. That intensity must come with a practice. What does that practice look? How do we know we need it? Black Lives Matter began as a call to action in response to state-sanctioned violence and anti-Black racism. Our intention from the very beginning was to connect Black people from all over the world who have a shared desire for justice to act together in their communities. The impetus for that commitment was, and still is, the rampant and deliberate violence inflicted on us by the state. We're committed to struggling together and to imagining and creating a world free of anti-Blackness, where every Black person has the social, economic, and political power to thrive.
3:30 - Breaking White Silence with Kindness and Clarity
with Sonja DeVries with Louisville Showing Up for Racial Justice (LSURJ)/Poor People's Campaign) How do we show up for racial justice with our friends, family and co-workers? How do we have these hard conversations in a way that is clear and strong and also loving and inviting? These conversations are as tricky as they are necessary and we need practice! In this workshop we will do some brainstorming, using our real experiences to role play, and pair shares to come up with a concrete plan to have those hard conversations and more.
