In 2020, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action is mobilizing Jews and allies across the country to defeat the white nationalist movement that seeks to destroy us all. But to be effective agents for change, we must understand the systems and history we are up against.
Join our community in Prince George's County as we gather to explore how white supremacy and anti-black racism operate systemically in our country and personally in our lives and communities.
Rise as One to Thrive as Many; a 2 part training
Sunday, August 23 and Sunday, August 30
Both from 3:00pm EST - 5:00pm EST
Before we can transform our community, state, or country, we need to learn about the history of white supremacy that has led us to this moment — because we need to understand where we come from to envision and take action to create a different future.
During the two days we will learn about the origins and present manifestations of each of these systems and movements. We will delve into our own personal stake in dismantling them. We will also offer an opportunity to take action towards building a multi-racial democracy and economy in which we can all thrive.
The program is grounded in Bend the Arc's 2020 We Rise as One Campaign, a national initiative designed to harness the anger and power of Jewish Americans to remove Trump from office. We will make the Right’s mainstreaming of white nationalism and antisemitism, as well as the weaponization of antisemitism, an electoral liability.
The facilitators of both sessions are white Jews. We want to share this information to help each individual decide if this is a space you would like to join.
This is a two-part training taking place over Zoom. Zoom link will be sent after RSVP'ing. By registering online, you are registering for both parts.
