Please join Showing Up for Racial Justice - Indianapolis (Indy SURJ) for a 2-hour Zoom training on White allyship to take place Wednesday, May 5th from 7 to 9pm EDT. Material for this training was developed in partnership with Fishers Racial Equity Community Network and adapted to address White people participating in Indy10 Black Lives Matter's Week of Action May 2nd-9th.

Building a world where everyone thrives requires mass movements to upend racism and other systems of oppression. In order to act effectively and accountably within movements for collective liberation, White people must defect from White supremacy and engage in solidarity with Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC).

This affinity space will equip White people with the tools to:

• Critically examine our own Whiteness and its impact on the existing work by BIPOC

• Take action in solidarity with BIPOC against racism and oppression

• Begin or further the lifelong journey of unlearning and healing from White supremacy

You will be asked to complete some homework prior to attending. More details will be provided upon registration.

The workshop consists of speaking, slides, and video. There will also be facilitated breakout groups with other participants. Live captioning will be provided, and an ASL interpreter can be provided upon request. If you have accessibility needs or questions, please let us know in the registration form.
