We are living in monumental times of mass movement for Black Lives and for overall racial justice.  These are times when a Presidential election will dramatically impact the future of our country, the future of democracy.  And a time when the call and need for strong racial justice values and action in our congregations and communities is critically important.  While there is much talk about white fragility and white silence getting in the way, this is a workshop to develop resilience, courage and leadership for the times we are facing now.  

Join us for an interactive workshop with longtime social justice educator, author and organizer, Chris Crass, one of the leading voices in the country calling for and supporting white people to work for racial justice. 

Whether you’ve been active for decades or a few days, this is an opportunity to become stronger, more inspired, more resilient, and more courageous in your racial justice work. While one of the themes of the workshop is white people working for racial justice, the overall theme of the workshop is how we can build stronger racial justice values and action in our congregations and communities, and the workshop is for all who want to do this work.

Workshop leader Chris Crass is a social justice educator who writes and speaks widely on courage for racial justice, feminism for men, lessons from past movements, and creating healthy culture and leadership for progressive activism.  He works with community groups, schools and faith communities to develop leadership and momentum for social justice action, and he is a leader with the national network, Organizing White Men for Collective Liberation. 

Chris was a founder of the anti-racist movement building center, the Catalyst Project, and helped launch the national white anti-racist network, SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice). Rooted in his Unitarian Universalist faith, Chris works with congregations, seminaries, and religious activists to build the Spiritual Left. He is also the author of Towards Collective Liberation: anti-racist organizing, feminist praxis, and movement building strategy and Towards the “Other America”: Anti-Racist Resources for White People Taking Action for Black Lives Matter.
