Getting at the Root: Over, Under, Around, Through White Resistance {Part 2}
Channel: Church of the Larger Fellowship - CLFUU
Date: 2016-06-09

Allies for Racial Equity, in collaboration with the Church of the Larger Fellowship, is offering a series of free webinars this spring to support racial justice efforts and prepare participants for the 2016 UUA General Assembly.

These two sessions are designed to examining the roots of white resistance and strategies for disarming it. 

In our racial justice work, we often face at least some resistance "here", within in our own communities... sometimes even within ourselves.

● What does that look like? 
● How do we respond? 
● How can we help one another through?

Guided by Beverly Daniel Tatum's Racial Identity Development Theory:

and some of our own experiences, we talk about how to recognize, address, and work through white resistance.... whether it's far away, or all too close to home.
