We’ll provide all the structure, toolkits, and guidance you need to plug into our national program and make a real difference — block by block.
Calling-In 101 and Practice Workshop
In the wake of uprisings around the country, do you feel urgency around calling your friends, family members, and community into the movement for racial justice? Calling in workshops are designed to help us do exactly that: to improve participants' ability to engage in conversations around race, racism, and police brutality.
We will develop skills to move other white people into action by “calling in” instead of “calling out.” We will define white fragility, learn tactics to shape conversations, and then apply those lessons to practice scenarios. Participants should leave the workshop with tools for calling more white people into the movement for racial justice.
This Zoom meeting will be small and highly participatory, with breakout groups and other opportunities to connect with participants, who should be fully present and on video. Spots are limited, so please register in advance. More workshops will be announced shortly and included in the SURJ NYC events calendar.
