The focus of our workshop will be developing an analysis of systemic racism, how it impacts the lives of people of color and what we’re doing about it.

We will dive deep into how Madison came to be one of the worse city’s in the Nation to live IF you’re black.

We will also discuss what State Violence is and the subtleties of State Violence. Including the normalization of State Violence.

We will highlight ways that Young Gifted and Black has succeeded in combating systemic racism in the form of state violence and develop an in depth understanding of our demands: Divest from the Prison Industrial Complex, Re-invest in to Black Led Initiatives, End Solitary Confinement, Release the 350, Community Control of the Police. We’ll give insight into some of our methods, including direct actions, petitioning the United Nations as well as community building sessions. We look forward to the opportunity to build community with the YWCA and empower others in the struggle toward Racial Justice.

See you there!!!!
