This month’s training will examine the impact of state violence through a lens that incorporates the intersections of race, gender identity and disability. A video including the narratives of 5 people that have been victimized by the criminal justice system will be shown to provide foundation to the dialogue. Attendees will learn the value of inclusive organizing to effect change.
If you can, we ask that you take some time to read through Sins Invalid’s collective group statement (http://sinsinvalid.org/blog/sins-invalid-statement-on-police-violence) along with an article on #DisabilitySolidarity in the Movement for Black Lives (http://ow.ly/uxM5304lRfA) for further analysis/commentary connecting disability, race, and police violence in particular.
Time: 7 PM to 9 PM
Location: St. Stephen’s Church (back auditorium), 1525 Newton St. NW
The DC Trainers’ Network monthly skillshare is a structured, interactive space where people can share skills and gain confidence in their training abilities and everybody is both a teacher and a learner. It strives to provide an inclusive practice space to experiment with different approaches for learning and teaching. This skillshare seeks to strengthen the DC activist community’s ability to meet the needs of progressive social movements.
