This workshop is not only a space for learning but also action by putting a plan in place for group building. The workshop will begin with a lecture then we will have breakout discussions while completing a workplan for next steps.
This training we will help identify, connect and support folks within their neighborhoods to learn how to map existing resources and relationships in your area, identify gaps, make direct asks of your neighbors to join efforts, and determine how we can reinforce the lines of care and defense our communities need.
This training is best if you bring along neighbors, friends, coworkers, or other parents/caregivers to make a collective plan of action together!
Our values in this space:
➔ No police, no ICE.
➔ Ensuring Black, brown, trans and disabled people’s safety includes keeping our people out of all carceral spaces—from jails and detention centers to psychiatric facilities where they may be involuntarily committed.
➔ Practicing accountability without punishment.
➔ Sharing resources without strings.
