Invitation: Conversations about Race at the Omni

by transcultural cinema

Dear friends, lovers and acquaintances of the Omni Commons, Consider these questions: * How does racial justice relate to economic justice and anti-capitalism? * How does racism affect each of us as individuals and as a community? * Why is there no such thing as “reverse racism”? * What does it mean to experience intersectional oppression? * What kinds of structures and processes can help us dismantle forces of oppression at the Omni? If you have ever wanted to discuss any of these questions, if you are interested in racial justice, or if you have experienced racism at the Omni, you are invited to join in a series of conversations about race and racism to be hosted weekly at the Omni for the month of September. The conversations will be structured as racial identity caucuses. Racial identity caucusing is a strategy that recognizes racism as a system that effects different racial groups very differently. There will be space at the start of each caucus to discuss the use of this strategy. Anyone unfamiliar with the strategy is encouraged to check out the resource attached to this email. We will begin with a three-part series for September, which can be continued if there's interest: *People of Color-only Caucus*: Sunday, September 13th, 12pm-3pm *White-only Caucus*: Sunday, September 20th, 12pm-3pm *Open to all Caucus*: Sunday, September 27th, 12pm-3pm *Lunch: 12pm-1pm, Conversation: 1-3pm* The conversations will be hosted in the *Disco Room*, and there will be a potluck lunch beforehand, so please bring an open heart and something tasty. If you plan to attend, RSVP to transculturalcinema(a)gmail.com with the following information: which caucus you plan to attend, what food you can bring, whether you are interested in co-facilitating, and any questions or issues you would like to discuss. These caucuses/conversations are being hosted as part of the *Becoming Omni *process, which is a 30-hr. Visioning and Planning Process currently being planned for the beginning of October. We welcome all those interested in helping shape the future of the Omni to join in this process. If you want to learn more, please email becoming(a)lists.omnicommons.org Love & solidarity, Libbie -- *Omni Commons* 4799 Shattuck Ave. Oakland, CA 94609 *omnicommons.org <http://omnicommons.org>*
