Community Ready Corps (CRC) teaches us that the U.S. empire traditionally has two modes:
Smash & Grab and Smooth & Soothe
#FightWhiteSupremacy #BiggerThanTrump
Smash & Grab and Smooth & Soothe
#FightWhiteSupremacy #BiggerThanTrump
In this moment where Right-wing neoliberal Democrats are being positioned as saviors from the fascist Trump administration, we need to prepare for a dangerous hybrid, described by CRC at “Smooth & Smash!”
As Biden, Harris and Obama pivot from “resisting” Trump to attacking the Left, radical organizers like Carroll Fife (in Oakland, CA) are challenging neoliberal corporate Democratic Party control of local government.
In this moment, we are being asked by CRC to strengthen our collective capacity to intervene against State repression, to play our role as white allies/accomplices to create a culture of protection & support for the work of Black freedom fighters under this new administration.
Join us on Thursday, Dec. 17th (5:30 pm PST) for a 90 minute webinar - The 5 Methods: State Repression Edition! https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_O5SBwjYSR9uaj5rnxHtg4g?fbclid=IwAR1RShFtS-SvBzs2fdF9JA5ly0EO8IcxyK0VDRsK6PfLbqpwW2k59eb59Oc
Together, we’ll study the FBI documents that lay out the U.S. government’s strategy to repress the Black struggle.
We'll learn how to apply the 5 Methods to Divest of White Power & Weaponize White Privilege to real life situations in a way that strengthens our movements and protects Black leaders and dissidents from State violence. #PracticeThe5Methods #WhitePrivilege #FightWhiteSupremacy
This webinar is designed for #WhitePeople who are already politically active, and will be most relevant and useful to white folks who are already involved in organizations.
Bring white folks in your mutual aid collective, your tenant or workplace union, your socialist org or your affinity group (to name a few) for maximum effectiveness! All are welcome.
