The Muslim Network, in collaboration with the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative (MuslimARC), is hosting a virtual training for community leaders on “Combatting Racism and Anti-Blackness in Our Communities” on Sunday, October 25th from 2:30 - 4:30 PM. This training will explore themes of racial formation, internalized racism, and intercultural conflict.
In shaa’ Allah, by the end of this training you and your colleagues will be able to:
Reflect on your own privilege or oppression using correct terms to categorize, compare/contrast, summarize, and/or predict personal patterns in addressing anti-racism
Value, develop and internalize concepts, practices, and principles of racial equity by uprooting internalized racism, interrupting interpersonal racism, and addressing systemic racism through dialogue, storytelling, art-based, or project-based learning to develop solutions to interpersonal and systemic racism in your community
Make use of learned information about oppressive interpersonal behaviors, including privilege, macro- and microaggressions, and use correct terms to categorize, compare/contrast, summarize, and/or predict patterns of microaggressions in order to mitigate them
Apply concepts in other contexts to formulate proposals based on your own identity to increase self-awareness about how your privilege or oppression shapes how you interact with others and society using correct terms and citations
