ABOUT THE WEBINAR / SERIES:
We are living in unprecedented times. Led by the visionary leadership of Black-led movements for justice and liberation, large numbers of white people are taking to the streets, and engaging in real conversations about systemic racism with other white folks.
Join us for a webinar series for white people who care about racial justice and social change, to learn tools and strategies to communicate with their people across political differences. These skills and this practice will be critical in the aftermath of election day.
Sessions will be led by AORTA (Anti-Oppression Resource Training Alliance; http://aorta.coop) trainers Jenna Peters Golden and Marc Mascarenhas-Swan.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
We will start with a two-hour training sharing frameworks and tools for effectively communicating about racism, racial justice, and political change. This will be followed by two 2 hour practice pods, where we share more tools, as well as our collective approaches and challenges in doing this work.
Everyone is welcome to attend; please bear in mind this conversation is designed for white folks committed to understanding and disrupting systemic racism in our lives and communities.

ABOUT AORTA
AORTA is a worker-owned cooperative devoted to strengthening movements for social justice.
We work as consultants, facilitators, and trainers to expand the capacity of progressive
organizations and projects through education, training, and planning. We base our work on an
intersectional approach to liberation because we believe that true change requires uprooting all
systems of oppression.
AORTA'S APPROACH
AORTA takes a hands-on, liberatory approach to our work with clients. We believe strongly in
the power of education and facilitation to politicize, empower, and develop leadership to create
powerful systemic transformation. We draw heavily upon the approaches and techniques of
popular education to develop workshops that are interactive, engaging, and designed to
catalyze community movement. We apply an intersectional and anti-oppression lens to all the
work we do, because we believe that in order to create true change we must uproot all systems
of oppression in all spaces.
