Youth Undoing Institutional Racism St. Paul is hosting its 8th Freedom School, October 24-October 27th (6:30pm – 8:00pm on Thursday, 10:00am – 4:00pm Friday and Saturday, 10:00am – 2:00pm on Sunday) for youth ages 14-23. This 3-day experience will allow young people to learn what they are not being taught in school but what they so desperately need given the backdrop of an increase in crime, increase in policing and widening disparities in our communities.
Join us as youth of YUIR deliver an engaging curriculum that dives in to the history of race, racism and systemic oppression in the US. We will not only talk about history as something of the past but connect it to what is happening in our community today.
Are you already doing the work of anti-racist organizing and want to build with others that have similar passion? Thinking of engaging in direct action and need more information? Feeling disempowered and what to activate but don’t know where to start? This is a perfect opportunity for you. FREE FOR ALL, BREAKFAST AND LUNCH PROVIDED. Register at https://bit.ly/2mLKygt
