The sequel to the Finding Freedom workshop. Where perfectionism goes to die, and we all get free!
Picking up where we left off in Finding Freedom, we as white women* will dream, organize, and take lots of action together. Let’s get free together, y’all.
This workshop is designed with a focus on deeper work around abolition, economic justice and cultural organizing as well as practice taking collective action.
How do we come alive to take bigger risks for racial justice together?
How can we use anti-racist cultural organizing in our white communities?
Where do you need to grow in service of this work?
You must have completed Finding Freedom prior to the October 2 start date for the YES Lab.
We’re still gay. We’re still in the South. And you don’t need to be.

All women and gender nonconforming, nonbinary and trans people, and all mixed-race and white-presenting people of color, who are interested in exploring the intersection of white womanhood and white supremacy are welcome to join us. The categories of “white” or “woman” might not be exactly how you define yourself. This workshop may still be useful to you if you were socialized as a white female and/or you are perceived as one today.
As a mixed-class facilitation team, we warmly welcome people of all class backgrounds. And we do not turn people away due to cost. We offer a sliding scale and also have limited scholarships available for people who need them.
This workshop focuses on United States history, context and current reality. Women from outside the US are welcome to join us, as long as you understand we will be using a US-based frame.
