on the anniversary of the execution of white abolitionist and race traitor
john brown, participate in an anti racist discussion group.

sunday, december 2nd at 3 PM; free skool santa cruz offers "being john
brown" in an effort to re-start a dialogue, and explore what white
identity might look like, what anti-racism means to us in this community.
What do words like ally, guilt, privilege, and identity mean to you? How
can we move beyond hang-wringing and easily-professed solidarity? How can
we be more effective allies? How can we_______?

John Brown committed himself to direct action against slavery, including
work with the underground railroad and resistance against slavery's
expansion. Eventually he was executed by the state as a traitor for his
role in a raid on a military outpost in an attempt to procure more arms
for the battle against slavery and slave owners.

the facilitated discussion and workshop will take place at the UCSC Tree
Sit Autonomous Zone, science hill. All are more than welcome, but the
discussion will be focused towards the experiences of white-skinned
people. Bring a book to suggest, a film to share, and a readiness to
confront the racism within and in the communities we inhabit. this sunday,
december 2nd at 3 PM

Way to keep the distinction between "white people" and "everyone else." This is a perpetuation of racism in it's own right. Constantly making a distinction between whites and everyone else makes the racism victims even more marginalized. Hopefully you white folk can figure out a super good plan to end racism once and for all.
