Check out our new speaker series Indivisibles,
The pathway to successful resistance cannot be paved by protest alone. We must rest, we must expand our shared community, and, most importantly, we must continue to learn and grow.
That’s why we are bringing you a new speaker series, Solidarity in Action: Training for Systemic Change and Allyship beginning on Tuesday, June 24 at 4pm ET/1pm PT with special guest Heather McGhee.
With the rise of authoritarianism in the US -- and across the globe -- marginalized communities continue to be targeted at an alarming rate. To push back this extremism, we cannot leave them on the front lines alone. If you want to be a better ally to the communities most endangered by the current state of affairs in this country, this is the training series for you!
Training for Systemic Change and Allyship Series Kick-off Call
Our kick-off call will focus on the foundation we need to be in solidarity with each other: an understanding of the current authoritarian climate and a discussion on why solidarity is necessary right now. This training will feature our very own Co-Executive Director Leah Greenberg alongside special guest Heather McGhee.
Heather McGhee is the New York Times bestselling author of The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together. A graduate of Yale and the University of California Berkeley School of Law, Heather has testified in Congress, drafted legislation, and developed strategies for organizations and campaigns that won changes to improve the lives of millions. She is the former president of Demos and the current board president of Color of Change and is working to design and promote solutions to inequality in America.

This is just the first in a wonderful line of informative and actionable trainings we will be holding for you over the next couple of months. We will have more incredible experts sharing their knowledge with you to announce soon, but in the meantime here are some of the topics we intend to cover in the ongoing series:
- Messaging for solidarity
- Know your rights
