Where do We Go from Here?
Understanding and Surviving a New Paradigm

Workshop Overview

This workshop will help participants process the current landscape in the wake of the 2024 election, with a focus on understanding the racial dynamics at play and providing tools for coping in the present reality while preparing for the future. Through a deep exploration of the intricate connections between power and racism, participants will gain insights into how these forces reinforce and sustain one another within the structure of American society.

Drawing from anti-racism principles, including the commonly used framework “Race Prejudice + Power = Racism” (People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond), this workshop goes beyond examining race prejudice alone to focus on the foundational role of power in perpetuating systemic racism.

Key Topics Covered:
- What is Power?
- Bases of Power: Organizational and ethnic resources as power sources
- Social and Cultural Origins of Power
- Consciousness and Power

By exposing the systems that influence both our social and private lives, this workshop enables participants to uncover the deeper roots of American racism. You’ll leave with increased understanding and clarity about how to effect change that is both impactful and lasting.
