DESCRIPTION:Childcare & the Left : Growing Strong Multi-Generational 
 Organizations\n\nHosted by: POWER, POOR Magazine/Presna POBRE and the Bay 
 Area Childcare Collective \n\nDoes your organization have childcare? Do you 
 want to help create multi-generational organizations and movements? Come to 
 this workshop to learn about how to make that happen!\n\nWorking class 
 women of color need to be at the center of our movement in terms of 
 analysis, issues and leadership. Why? Deeply embedded institutions of 
 domination- economic inequality, racism, sexism and homophobia - are the 
 bedrock of the oppression of low-income communities of color and women. We 
 must build a social justice movement to deeply transform these institutions 
 and this change will come only when the people who are most oppressed by 
 these institutions are empowered to lead the movement for social change.* 
 In this white-supremacist capitalist patriarchy the joy and labor of caring 
 for children has become extremely gendered and fallen on the backs of 
 women.  For this reason, childcare is a critical yet understated need in 
 our movements enabling working class families to actively participate in 
 movement building spaces. \n\n• Learn about childcare models that are 
 helping to build strong working-class women of color led organizations and 
 mass-based multigenerational movements. \n• Hear from a panel of parents, 
 organizers and youth about the impacts childcare can have on member 
 turnout, women's leadership development, multigenerational movement 
 building, building with allies, improving organizational culture and more. 
 \n• Small group discussions will help participants vision and plan how to 
 incorporate childcare into their work.\n• Participants will leave with 
 resources and analysis that will support them in initiating new childcare 
 programming or building up existing programming.\n\nThe more people we 
 include in the movements today the stronger we are tomorrow!\n\nChildcare 
 and snacks will be provided provided. Space is limited. Please RSVP to

 Sisters at the Center article.)\n
