Signature Gatherings:

For ‘Colored Folks’ Who Consider Our Mutual Liberation Enough – This experiential gathering uses historical and contemporary information, powerful questions and our Solidarity Framework to promote shared learning, intra- and inter-group connection, and community building.

Building Black Power: Dismantling Anti-Blackness in Our Institutions and Movements – This experiential gathering tackles the root causes of anti-Black racism and its cultural influences within our institutions, movements and communities, and offers a framework for unlearning anti-Blackness and developing a pro-Black stance within anti-racist practice among BIPOC folks.

Black Leadership: Navigating Transitions in Historically White Led Institutions As many organizations grapple with executive transitions where a person of color, especially an incoming Black leader, is succeeding a white leader, there is growing discussion on “glass cliffs”: the phenomenon where leaders of color inherit organizational challenges where the risk of failure is high. This workshop will:

• Enhance understanding of how anti-Blackness impacts Black leadership regardless of positional authority.

• Reflect on organizational and leadership practices that make for more successful executive transitions, meaningfully support Black leadership, reckon with past harm, and center accountability to communities at the heart of the organizational mission, regardless of role and identity.

Our resources and gatherings are especially suited to:

• BIPOC leaders seeking to leverage their own identities as well as resources, tools and networks to advance anti-racist change;

• Organizations looking to establish and run effective BIPOC affinity groups and caucuses as part of larger organizational initiatives to create multicultural anti-racist organizations;

• Movements looking to mobilize diverse BIPOC groups around various issues and platforms; and

• Groups seeking to integrate an intersectional analysis within BIPOC racial justice organizing.
