For those who identify as white
interConnected is a five part series and meets on September 5, 12, 19*, 23 and 26.
As white people in the U.S., we have been shaped by social, economic and other systems in which unearned privilege accrues to white people. To the extent that we are unaware of this system of white privilege and racial conditioning, we behave in ways that lead to suffering for ourselves, others,
the larger society. Further, we may not realize how our conditioning stops us from joining with other white people to change the system and ourselves.
This class focuses on the skills, support and understanding needed to continue to disrupt racism within ourselves in our communities.
