#RaceAnd Femicide - Online April 14
Gendered and racialized violence can have deadly consequences for women of color, from the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous and Black women, to targeted attacks against Asian women, to ongoing violence against trans and gender non-conforming people, to the trafficking of immigrant women.
Join us to explore steps we can take as a collective society to find transformative solutions that do not perpetuate violence and further criminalize people, but rather get to the root causes of femicide and how we can combat it.
Training Series: Strong Public Schools and a Multiracial Democracy
Race Forward and NYU Metro Center, in partnership with other H.E.A.L. (Honest Education Action & Leadership) Together partners, is proud to offer free virtual trainings for students, educators, and parents to fight for strong, equitable public schools and a multiracial democracy. Each session of this part series will take place on Wednesdays at 7 PM EST / 4 PM PST, beginning on April 13, 2022.
Session 1: Manufacturing of Culture Wars and Policies of Division – April 13 (online)
Explore how ultra-right elites are advancing divisive public policy and targeting critical race theory as a strategy in their long-term fight against public education. We will uncover how Charles Koch and other billionaires have insidiously used dark money to fund radical free market capitalist think tanks, political action groups, and academics to manufacture culture wars to undermine our democracy.
Led by Jasmine Banks, UnKoch My Campus, James Haslam, Race Forward’s H.E.A.L. Together, and Megan Hester of NYU Metro Center.
Session 2: Narrative & Messaging: Overcoming Divide-and-Conquer Politics with a Race-Class Framework to Unify Our Communities – April 27 (online)
Participants will learn to identify, navigate, and overcome the politics of division by examining the narratives used to attack public education and exploring new narratives that can unify our communities.
Facilitated by: Race Forward's Dennis Chin, Vice President Narrative, Arts & Culture, and Asma Elhuni, H.E.A.L. (Honest Education Action & Leadership) National Lead Organizer.
