Brooklyn Zen Center is honored to host Undoing Racism®, PISAB‘s signature workshop. Participants will experience a humanistic process for laying a foundation to explore how we have been socialized and conditioned to think about race and racism.

This workshop is an invitation to all people, across all racial backgrounds. We believe a balanced, multiracial circle brings a full range of lived experiences and strengthens our collective learning. The facilitation team is multiracial, including Black, East Asian, and white organizers.

We will gather in community circle for an 18-hour intensive experience, guided by PISAB’s antiracist community organizing principles. Rather than a set agenda, the people and the principles guide our flow. We first analyze class, power and institutional/individual relationships to and within communities. As power is analyzed, we will explore how we play a role in maintaining the current disparate racial outcomes that every system and institution produces.

This intensive, interactive process challenges participants to analyze the structures of power and privilege that hinder social equity and prepares them to be effective organizers for justice.

Regular breaks and a lunch break are built into the full days. Please bring items to facilitate your comfort.

Note: If you’ve attended a previous Undoing Racism workshop, consider reaching out to friends or community members — personal invitations from past participants are powerful!
