Hear it for Yourself

One of the awesome things Catalyst organized for us were panel discussions with major movers and shakers in the social justice world. Now, these sessions are recorded for your pleasure!  We had three major ones, and here are video and audio links for two of them (the third is coming through).

Anti-Racist Organizing Strategy Panel

A panel discussion on Strategies for Anti-Racist Organizing with Linda Burnham longtime leader for racial, gender, and economic justice, Dawn Phillips of Just Cause Oakland, Alicia Garza of People Organized to Win Employment Rights (POWER), Carla Wallace of the Fairness Campaign and Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression.  Panelists ground current anti-racist work within a legacy of long-term social movements, share strategies for building working class power in communities of color in Oakland and San Francisco toward systemic change. Panelists layout what those big picture strategies look like in practice. They share lessons and strategies for anti-racist organizing with white people and ways white people can be part of efforts to build vibrant multi-racial movements for justice.
