Undoing Racism Community Meeting
January 21, 2021 - 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM ET
Join us for our first meeting of the semester to build community collaboration and continue the conversation about anti-racist practice and actions.
Undoing Racism is a community collective of students, staff, and faculty in the School of Social Work dedicated to fighting white supremacy at individual, school and structural levels. This workgroup was established in 2019 after the community took part in the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond Undoing Racism workshops, and builds on their anti-racist community organizing model. Our work has been largely focused on building collective community and emphasizes the role that white members of our community must take on to dismantle and undo white supremacist structures.
We know there are many important efforts going on at SSW; Undoing Racism will amplify all these efforts, including the advocacy sparked by MSW and Doctoral students. No matter what role you play here at SSW, you are always welcome and encouraged to come to Undoing Racism meetings.

ENGAGE + CASC: Youth Organizing and Empowerment
January 21, 2021 - 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM ET
Youth have the ability to lead and galvanize social and political movements for change. Both through their understanding of new powerful means of communicating and their power to connect and drive their peers, youth are especially positioned to be great drivers for equity. Join us for a special joint discussion with CASC featuring local youth leaders and change-makers as they discuss the impact of their work and the movements they are leading. This discussion features youth panelists that include CASC alumni and longtime youth organizer of 482forward, Kayla Tate; 482Forward Director of Youth Organizing, Dillon Cathro; youth organizer for the African Bureau for Immigrant and Social Affairs, Yamah Bahdeh; and Youth Organizer at the East Michigan Environmental Action Council (EMEACE), Javaye Henry. CASC Director Dr. Katie Richards-Schuster, and Assistant Director, Diana Seales, will also be joining.
