PRAXIS

Led by Ayoka Turner and Chris Crass

Praxis is a space for making meaning and drawing out lessons from our practice of moving ideas into action.  We are coming together as religious and spiritual leaders who have a commitment to ending the nightmare of structural inequality and supremacy systems that have devastating impacts in our communities, and in our lives.  Some of us work in majority BIPOC communities, some of us work in majority white communities and some of us work in multiracial communities.  And this workshop aims to strengthen our abilities to defy the divide and control strategy of white supremacy, and build anti-racist/racial justice/collective liberation power.

Praxis is a workshop led by longtime justice movement leaders and political educators Ayoka Turner and Chris Crass.  They are both deeply committed to developing and supporting leadership, culture, and power, for racial, gender, economic justice.  Ayoka has answered her ministry through justice work in working class communities of color.  Chris has answered his ministry through working to build anti-racist capacity in majority white communities.  They operate from a shared vision of collective liberation.

We will come together to create spiritual/religious nourishment for the work we do.  We will place our efforts in historical context and make space for reflection on our work, drawing out lessons and insights, to strengthen our work moving forward.  We will learn from and with each other, in the service of building the power of the “we” in justice work.

You are invited into a space for our hearts, minds and souls to be nourished and fortified, and to build momentum for collective liberation in our religious/spiritual communities. Childcare is available for this event - please indicate your need on the registration form.
