Undoing Racism Training

April 19, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Members of the leadership team of the Westchester Coalition for Police Reform are putting together an important three day training in April for the local community.

 
Please see the statement below from the People’s Institute website and then see the announcement from Rev. Doris Dalton:
 

How Can We Undo Racism®?

The fabric of racism is inextricably woven and constructed into the founding principles of the United States. Racism was done and it can be undone through effective anti-racist organizing with, and in accountability to the communities most impacted by racism. The People’s Institute believes that effective community and institutional change happens when those who serve as agents of transformation understand the foundations of race and racism and how they continually function as a barrier to community self-determination and self-sufficiency.

This nation has always reflected rich diversity from the innumerable multitude of indigenous cultures that inhabited and sustained this land prior to arrival of European explorers to our present composition. Yet, unequivocally, whites continue to fare significantly better than all people of color. In our workshops, we analyze power and how it is used to maintain this racial divide, in hopes of achieving equity and equality across all cultures and races.

 
From Rev. Doris Dalton: Developing a deeper understanding of the racism framework around us will inform our work in police accountability, community activism and social justice.  This is one of the best antiracism trainings I  have ever taken, and I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity.  The cost is $350 per person. WCPR can offer 10 partial scholarships for WCPR members.
