This is a follow-up session to assess where you are you on your journey of moving from an ally to an accomplice. Since our last session, were you able to move to a next step? Did something hold you back? Wherever you are on your journey, we will revisit some of the concepts introduced in the first two sessions and have a facilitated discussion on how we can move to a more active involvement in the dismantling of systemic oppressions and being an anti-racist. There will be time to work together in small groups on any current or future efforts with the help of Brandon Mack. 

You do NOT have to attended the first two sessions to attend this workshop.

When: Thursday, September 30, 2021

Where: Zoom

Time: 7 pm – 8:30 pm
