About this event
This event is provided by Class Action
Race and class are inextricably linked, and we need to talk about them together. This workshop, co-sponsored by Class Action, Social Justice Fund NW, Resource Generation of Portland, and Oregon Food Bank explores the critical link between class and race in the United States. It starts by examining the historical basis for classism and racism and then invites people to examine how race and class impacts our individual life experiences. The workshop is interactive and experiential and participants should be prepared to examine and talk about the origins of their own class backgrounds and racial identities. Join Class Action trainers Melody Martinez and Alan Preston for a daylong workshop exploring this critical intersection.
