A Workshop For People Interested In Economic Justice, with George Lakey and Judith Jones, Ph.D.

Friday, September 26, 2003; 7 pm-9:45 pm

This workshop gives activists a hand in learning about class dynamics. The goal is stronger activism for deeper social change. Like racism, class prejudice gets in the way of effective coalition building. Like sexism and homophobia, it can deprive our social change groups and organizations of the contributions of all. Unlike those forces, classism is rarely brought out in the open. That makes it even more powerful.

Struggles for economic justice have often been divided from social goals such as environmentalism or peace. That’s because the activists themselves are divided by class. Now a new generation of activists is learning to bridge the class divide. The outcome: coalitions across the labor, peace, welfare-rights, environmental and other movements-groups that too often have worked in isolation or at odds. Come to Bridging the Class Divide and learn how!
