Race

This workshop is for white folks interested in learning more about the internal work to make our multiracial co-ops more liberatory, antiracist spaces. Cooperators are great people! And we also operate in a world that has been systemically warped by racism, and our cooperative organizations are not immune to this. In this workshop we will explore the dominant white cultural values that can creep into the way we operate as individuals and as organizations. We'll then look at transformative antiracist values and how we can apply those to our lives and work within co-ops.
