#TakeAction – June 4, 2020

Tonight #TakeAction to join Indivisible for a workshop on doing the work to show up for Black lives. Before and after the workshop, take time to pursue your own anti-racist education.

🔶 Workshop on Relational Organizing Amidst Racial Violence
🔶 Pursue Anti-Racist Education

Workshop on Relational Organizing Amidst Racial Violence

Date: Indivisible is hosting a workshop tonight at 5 p.m. PDT.

Action: This month’s National Activist Call has been replaced so Indivisible can show all allies how they can actively show up for Black lives at this crucial moment. This workshop will create a space for Indivisibles and allies everywhere to discuss relational organizing and the responsibility we have to escalate white folks and non-Black people of color from allies to accomplices, both in casual conversations and in concrete anti-racist actions within our communities.

For too long, Black Americans have been alone in advocating for themselves — even if it disproportionately exposes them to mental, physical, and emotional harm. This should not be a fight taken up only by the most profoundly affected. This moment calls for an increased initiative on the behalf of allies everywhere to step up and educate themselves on how to be part of the solution.
