We will draw primarily from new works by Ice Temelkuran as well as the powerful and prophetic voices of those who are building a resistance movement here and abroad in these perilous times.

Our main text that we are asking folks to purchase/read is “ How to Lose a Country: The Seven Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship” by Ece Temelkuran.

This workshop will address race and related beliefs by loosening racialized certainties, allowing alternative ways of seeing and knowing, and challenging participants to consider antiracist perspectives. It will also provide understanding and practice in skillful speech as a tool for unbinding racial certainty, deflecting and re-channeling hostile or defensive speech, and deepening reflective, critical thinking. The workshop will use readings, videos, practice and draw from the book "How Minds Change" by David McRaney.
