Hollyhock Life | Unpacking Systemic Racism: Making Meaning of this Moment @HollyhockLive | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
With the grief and outrage over innocent Black lives lost in the US to race-based violence, what is our role? Black, Indigenous, and other racialized people in Canada are also at a much greater risk of not only police violence, but a host of other problems due to systemic racism and white supremacy. What does this mean for each of us, and what can we do? Join us for an emergent conversation with a panel of speakers to listen, learn, feel, and make a plan for action.
PANEL INCLUDES:
- Kim Haxton, a Potowatomi First Nations woman, is a co-founder of Indigeneyez and a multifaceted, multidimensional land-based educator.
- Parker Johnson, a black man, has been working in the field of harassment and discrimination prevention, workplace equity and inclusion, conflict resolution and organizational change for over 15 years in Canada.
- Sofia Robledo Rower, a queer, white Latina from New York City, is a community herbalist, an organizer, an abolitionist and facilitator, and is committed to the work of recognizing and destroying white supremacy and racial capitalism.
- Rup Sidhu, a first generation punjabi man, is an interdisciplinary artist and facilitator whose work meets at the intersection of social justice and the arts. For the past 25 years he has been growing his understanding of anti-oppression and liberation based practices.
- Karen Mahon Carrington, a white woman, is Hollyhock Board Vice Chair, lifelong environmentalist, trainer, and creator of Climate Hope.
