CARW's Anti-Racist White Organizing Institute

The Coalition of Anti-Racist Whites (CARW) is excited to present the 2010 Anti-Racist White Organizing Institute this October and November.  The institute is an interactive, dialogue based anti-racist workshop for white folks by white folks. It will be centered on strengthening analysis and skills in challenging institutional racism and white privilege while we strengthen relationships among white folks committed to racial justice. The Organizing Institute is more than a training- a key goal of the Organizing Institute is to connect white folks to CARW’s ongoing racial justice organizing efforts.
 
The OI will be held on Wednesday evenings and Sundays this October and November (details). Preferred application deadline is 9/15, though applications will be accepted up until the first day of the Organizing Institute (10/13).  More details.

Come learn more about what CARW is up to as well as details about the Organizing Institute:
Wednesday, September 8th, 2010 from 6-9pm (Potluck and Socializing from 6:00-6:30pm) at El Centro de la Raza (2524 16th Ave S, Seattle, 98144) (wheelchair accessible). This meeting will feature a workshop on understanding white privilege and racial inequities and health. In the second half of the meeting we will share information about the OI and you'll have an opportunity to ask questions in a small group setting. Whether you are currently active in CARW or just wanting to learn more about how to be an anti-racist white ally, please join us! More info on the meeting.
