There is so much work to be done in this political moment and I believe when we build power across class & center racial justice at the grassroots, we will win. I am certain we both believe in supporting anti-racist organizing in poor & working class white communities. Can you contribute to a national convening that will do just that?
Catalyst Project and Highlander Center are hosting a convening of organizations that are building anti racist power in poor and working class white communities this April. 40 organizers from across region, culture, geography, issue will strategize together on:
- Discuss what’s needed during this moment of accelerated white supremacy
- Strengthen collective capacity to out-organize the Right
- Share organizing skills and lessons across geographies and sectors
- Share and build strategies about how the white working class can shift to see themselves as part of a broader, multi-racial working class
- Build relationships between more poor and working class white organizers committed to anti-racist struggle
Catalyst Project and Highlander Center are working in collaboration with Alliance for Appalachia, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth, Rural Organizing Project, Vermont Worker’s Center, Southern Maine Worker’s Center, and Showing Up for Racial Justice.
