Occupy Privilege and Racism Workshop

Posted on by

Where: Network Charter School, 2550 Portland Street, Eugene, OR 97405

When: May 19, 2012  –  10:00 am to 3:00 pm

Who’s included in the 99%?    Are all voices really heard?

The Occupy movement has brought together many people to organize in the hope of creating real and lasting justice.  The movement is inspiring but also challenging.  One source of tension has been over race, which is understandable given the racial history of the U.S.  Unless the issues of white privilege and racism are faced and dealt with openly, we cannot build a true 99% movement.

In this workshop, we’ll focus on developing an understanding of privilege and racism, and how these social forces affect us individually and institutionally. We’ll explore these issues through open conversation, workshop exercises, short readings, viewing short DVD & You-Tube clips, and creating goals for action.  The workshop is free, with donations accepted for Occupy Eugene.

Please bring your own bag lunch, and some food to share with others.

To register, reply to Lee at deveaulee@yahoo.com.

For information, contact Ruth at wrenr@lanecc.edu.
