Housing Discrimination Tester Training
Whites Confronting Racism
This workshop is for
white people who want to challenge the racism around them -- and in their own
heads and hearts -- and who are searching for a way to strengthen their work
for racial justice. It's for white folks who already do anti-racism work but
want to develop their skills and deepen their approach. And it's for white
folks who want a better understanding of how white privilege and racism operate
in society and inside of them.

A NONJUDGEMENTAL, SUPPORTIVE SETTING, PARTICIPANTS WILL...

their ability to address racism through action; increase their understanding of

racism and barriers to working on it; develop a personal vision for racial
justice; build their skills in being accountable allies to people of color and
working in coalitions; develop strategies for interrupting racist situations;
increase their ability to support other white people doing racial justice work;
and build an action plan of concrete next steps.Training for Change
We specialize in training
trainers, to create a ripple
effect in quality activist training. We support activists, but we challenge
them, too. We refuse to collude with activists' thinking small or undermining
their own power. Instead, our
approach challenges
activists to step fully into their power. When we say activist
training, we mean training that helps groups stand up more effectively for
justice, peace and the environment.
Everyday Democracy
We help people with
different backgrounds and views talk and work together to create communities
that work for everyone. This site includes materials on multiple social
issues at low or no cost for use in community dialogue.
