Concerned about the Impact of Race and Racism in our HV Communities?
We invite you to take part in a half-day of organizing training led by Ron Chisom, co-founder of The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond (PISAB). Ron will bring several PISAB northeast organizing leaders to share insights and years of experience organizing to undo racism across the nation.

The Sharpe Reservation

This is an invitation-only event for HV organizing leaders.
Please RSVP by May 13, 2017 to:
Tracy Givens Hunter (thgivens@gmail.com)
or, Pete Heymann (heymann.peter@gmail.com)
Session participants will engage in a comprehensive exploration of how we as anti-racist organizers and social justice activists can gain organizing skills, strategies and tactics to better lead the effort to bring Undoing Racism Workshops back to the HV.
Undoing Racism Workshops are unique 2 1/2 day workshops offered by The People's Institute for Survival and Beyond, a national, multiracial, anti-racist network from New Orleans dedicated to ending racism in our lifetime.
Now in its 38th year, PISAB has provided training, consultation, and leadership development to more than 500,000 people in organizations nationally and internationally.
The PISAB analysis moves beyond a focus on the symptoms of racism to an understanding of what Racism is, where it comes from, how it functions, why it still persists and how we can effectively organize to Undo Racism in our communities.
Key areas of discussion will include:
1. Assessing where we are in our level of organizing skills
2. Hearing success stories strategies and tactics
3. Learning from History
4. Sharing organizing experience
5. Organizing to Undo Racism
Let’s gather together to organize to Undo Racism.
Please RSVP now.
Peace,
Peter
