Beloveds,We are excited to announce that DRUUMM is again sponsoring intersectional antiracism training facilitated by our partners at Движение за справедливость.UU calls on us to center love and fight for social justice and equity. You’ve heard the term ally, and you want to be there for people. You don’t want to unconsciously contribute to sexism, ableism, racism, and other forms of systemic oppression in your life and community. But what to do? What to say? We’re here to help. Similar to last fall, we offer:Introduction to Allyship This interactive Zoom session serves as an optional gateway to our comprehensive four-session intersectional antiracism “Aiming for Allyship” training series. This workshop is open to all and includes opportunities for caucusing. It will take place on Tuesday, March 4, 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM Pacific / 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM Eastern.In this intro session you will meet Justice Movement founders Natalie Nguyen and Danya Xena Davis and guest trainer Atena Danner, be introduced to our intimate style of pedagogy, and engage in an example exercise that reflects our dynamic approach to education. This session is meant to give you a taste of what to expect in the four-session “Aiming for Allyship” course. Каждая сессия структурирована так, чтобы бросать вызов, вдохновлять и наделять участников полномочиями, завершаясь дорожной картой для активного союзничества, которое уважает и укрепляет достоинство всех людей. Не упустите этот шанс развить свои навыки интерсекционального антирасизма и продолжить свой путь к тому, чтобы стать эффективным союзником!

Register for Intro to AllyshipСтремление к союзничеству This is a 12-hour multiracial intersectional antiracism training designed to deepen relationships, understanding, support, and commitment to living into our UU values. Join Justice Movement founders Natalie and Danya and guest trainer Atena as they guide you through a deep dive into allyship and accountability. The training will occur on four Tuesdays from 4:30 PM to 7:30 PM Pacific / 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM Eastern.Session 1: March 18 BREAK/ Pod: March 25 Session 2: April 1 BREAK/ Pod: April 8 Session 3: April 15 BREAK/ Pod: April 22, April 29 Session 4: May 6 The four Aiming for Allyship sessions will explore themes such as Intersectionality, Community Building, Emotional Regulation, and Effective Allyship Practices as informed by UU principles and values. Highlights include practical exercises on “Calling In/Out” with responses, discussions on “Socialization and Its Impacts,” and tools for “Navigating Difficult Conversations.” Выступать в качестве союзника может ощущаться и быть сложным. Мы специализируемся на разбиении сложных тем и сложных концепций на управляемые и проясняющие части. Мы отдаем приоритет близости и делаем обучение выступать в качестве союзника глубоко личным. Наша цель — развить уверенность в наших участниках, чтобы они могли рассматривать сложные темы с сочувствием и пониманием. To do so we will unpack how we have been socialized to behave, privilege, and why it not only enforces unhealthy power dynamics but also limits you personally. We will also investigate the ways we are guided by UU principles and how to turn them into action, plan and practice how to respond when you are called in or out, and how to do that for others. Learn in community about cancel culture, tone policing, radical love, and so much more. This course will be an opportunity to do some inner work, grow as a person, ask hard questions, and be a force for change in your congregation and beyond. The training is open to all and includes opportunities for caucusing in racial groups. Scholarships for Aiming for Allyship are available and reserved for DRUUMM members; please request by March 4.
