First America, the Course: Indigenous History for COllective Liberation

Saturdays Oct 10 - Nov 21, 3:00pm - 5:30pm

Hosted by Comrades Education, with special guest Rebecca Nagle (creator of the stellar podcast, First America) and many others, this course is an immersive community reflection on all 6 episodes of the podcast–providing additional study and reflection in order to better understand the historical moment we are in and take action for the decolonization of our world. Sliding scale (none turned away), recorded sessions and materials available for self-study (no need to attend in person), and late registration is through October 23.

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.
