Corita Brown and Evangeline Weiss are bringing a few middle class white people together to talk about moving money. We recognize that so many of us have the financial ability to give and have not been organized to strategize about our giving. Maybe you’re thinking…. I don't know how my commitments to racial justice line up with my giving. I typically give to large social justice organizations but maybe there are smaller organizations that need it more? My partner and I have different values about giving and shared finances. What can we do? Should I be giving to organizations that are majority led by white folks even if I think they’re doing good work? When I think about giving, I worry about my own financial stability. I feel like other people have figured out their giving but I don't even know how to talk with them about it. Our 5 week white caucus focused on our personal money and class stories, reparations vs donations --> and ultimately moving our money to BIPOC people and organizations begins Tuesday January 18th. We will meet 7:00-8:00pm EST - These live 1 hour co-facilitated sessions will cover a range of topics: The Moving Money Learning Lab is free -- we expect you to show up, make a gift of your choosing during the 5 weeks, to give us feedback about the Lab and to bring this conversation to your community. Feel free to send this email to any friends or family you think would be interested in our discussion. We are excited for a multigenerational space and welcome white folks from all class backgrounds. To register for Moving Money, please fill out this registration form. More about Corita and Evangeline.

Cost: $540 with payment plans options available Since the onset of the COVID pandemic, many of us have adapted rapidly, and shifted our in person meetings, training, conferences, classes, conferences and gatherings online. It is becoming clear that online work and meetings may be a big part of our reality moving forward. This will require many of us to stretch, grow and up our facilitation game in virtual spaces. We can do this. We are grateful that we didn’t have to start from scratch when the pandemic hit. Remote work required us to experiment with and practice online facilitation for several years prior to COVID. We tested many approaches, made a lot of mistakes, and learned A LOT about how to translate our combined 40 years of experience with in-person facilitation into virtual settings. We are excited to offer a learning lab where facilitators can share best practices, experiments, and challenges in designing and facilitating meaningful, connective, participatory and inclusive online spaces. The Virtual Facilitation Learning Lab will center on three key elements: “Being ourselves” in virtual space: learning to translate our presence and the “facilitation super powers” we bring as in-person facilitators online.

This is the work of learning, healing and action that it’s important for white people to do separately from Black, Indigenous and other People of Color (BIPOC). Although anyone is welcome to participate, this workshop is designed for those who have raised their hand to facilitate white affinity groups in organizations and communities. The trainings will provide support on embedding best practices into planning and facilitation, and an opportunity to connect with a peer network of white affinity group facilitators.
