Fwd: Applications Open: 2013 Anne Braden Anti-Racist Organizer Training Program

[Kate Cardona]

Hey Everyone,

Hope you're all doing well. I want to let you all know about applications for the 4th round of the Anne Braden Program, an anti-racist education and organizing training program for white people, happening in San Francisco from February-May 2013.

I did the last round of the Braden Program in 2011 and it was a really incredible learning experience that helped shape my political work and life in big ways. Please spread the word if you know anyone who you think might be interested! Applications are due September 15th.

Let me know if you have any questions about the program!

Thanks and all my best,
Kate

The Anne Braden Program and all of Catalyst's work is made possible by community support from people like YOU. Accepting Applications for the 2013 Anne Braden Program To our friends and family in the movement for justice, We are excited to announce that applications are now open for the fourth Anne Braden Anti-Racist Organizer Training Program, which starts February 2013! The last three programs were a tremendous success built on the love and labor of hundreds of people in our community. Many of you helped us with the crucial work of recruiting participants, which is why we are writing you now. We need YOUR support to get the word out about the Braden Program far and wide. Would you forward this email to your networks and personally encourage people to apply?   Who Should Apply? The Anne Braden Program is designed for white social justice activists and organizers who are looking to grow in their anti-racist skills, analysis, and practice. It’s not a series of “101” style workshops, but a rigorous political education and leadership development program intended to support white activists in becoming more effective, historically-grounded, and accountable anti-racist organizers, leaders, and multi-racial movement builders. We are particularly looking to recruit working-class, Jewish, women, LGBT and queer-identified participants and members of grassroots social justice organizations. White activists who don’t fit the above descriptions, but who have experience working for social justice and are looking for a rigorous political education and organizing training program, are encouraged to apply as well. We are asking you to pass along this email, and to personally encourage anyone in your life who you think could benefit from the program to apply by September 15th. The program runs from February through May 2013. How To Apply Applications are available now on the Catalyst website www.collectiveliberation.org. Got questions about the Anne Braden Program?

If you are looking for programs that train organizers of color, we encourage you to check out and promote the work of our allies at SOUL (School of Unity and Liberation) at schoolofunityandliberation.org and CTWO (Center for Third World Organizing) at ctwo.org. Together we are working to train up leaders and organizers to build the movement we need for collective liberation and global justice.

Anne Braden: Southern Patriot Our friends at Appalshop have just released a new documentary on the extraordinary life of civil rights leader Anne Braden. Ann was hailed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail as a white southerner who was "eloquent and prophetic." She fought for an inclusive movement community and became a mentor for generations of social justice activists. We Have Not Been Moved: Resisting Racism and Militarism in 21st Century America Check out this powerful book with writings from Anne Braden and also from Catalyst Staff member Clare Bayard, among many other movement organizers. Ballots & Beyond Host a Collective Liberation event with our new toolkit: The 2012 presidential elections are just around the corner and we encourage our communities to use the momentum created by the elections to engage your networks in anti-racist political education and action.
