The Farm-Based Education Network invites you to participate in an anti-racism training designed specifically for people working on and with the land and people connected to farming and education. Facilitators ground their anti-racism training in four basic principles for building anti-racist organizations: Reparations, Healing, Imagination, & Movement. The goal is for people to leave the training not only having conceptually understood, but emotionally, kinesthetically, and tactically engaged with the Service to Justice framework for racial justice. This includes:

Principles for curating anti-racist sectors, coalitions, and programs.

Different levels of experience within which racism operates (intrapersonal, interpersonal, organizational, community and systemic/societal) and how these levels interact.
Distinct components of organizations and coalitions where racism shows up, how it manifests, and visions for something radically different.
In addition to a common framework for racial justice, network members will get anchored in relationships for the long-term work of transformation.

Facilitators

Service to Justice is a collective of social service providers, advocates, community members, artists, organizers, and justice-oriented institutions who recognize that the social service industry often perpetuates the current arrangement of power that maintains systemic poverty and structural racism. They offer workshops, consulting, coaching, and community engagement to advance organizational change. They are based in Washington, D.C.

The cost of this workshop is $483 per person. We recognize that individuals and organizations have different privileges. Please pay the amount that fits for your budget. Paying over $483 will help the organizers subsidize the cost for other participants. The facilitators' fees are set and are not determined by workshop revenue.

Dates

The training will meet October 4, 5, 7, 8 (no meeting on October 6). The training time is 11 am - 2 pm EST each day, with breaks.
