Introducing BRCS 🧱

✊🏾 Build your race-class analysis. Build your organizing skills. Build people power.

Understanding how race and class shape life in the U.S. is essential to meeting this moment. In this five-part workshop and canvass series, we’ll deepen our race-class analysis, reflect on our own identities and experiences, learn the fundamentals of effective canvassing, and practice having meaningful conversations across differences.

Led using curriculum from EWU Professor of Sociology Pui-Yan Lam, BRCS will combine two full-day workshops with three community canvasses where participants put their skills into practice.

📚 BRCS Part 1: Saturday, Sept. 12 | 9 AM–5 PM

📚 BRCS Part 2: Saturday, Sept. 19 | 9 AM–5 PM

📣 Canvass #1: Saturday, Oct. 3 | 1–5 PM

📣 Canvass #2: Thursday, Oct. 15 | 5:30–7:30 PM

📣 Canvass #3: Saturday, Oct. 24 | 1–5 PM

Doors open 30 minutes before each event. Location will be shared after registration.

After completing the workshops, participants will join our first BRCS cohort and put their skills into action through canvassing.

If you’re ready to deepen your commitment to resisting fascism, building solidarity across race and class, and creating a just and nonviolent world, BRCS is for you.

🎟️ Sliding-scale registration is available, including a scholarship rate for anyone for whom cost would be a barrier.
