Freedom Project is sponsoring several workshops in the next few weeks that are free and open to the public. Freedom Project is an non-profit organization that provides prison programming on Non-Violent Communication and mindfulness in five prisons throughout Washington State.
First, the organization hosts a monthly anti-oppression mass incarceration two part workshop series on the third and fourth Wednesday of the month. On Wednesday April 20th 6-8 PM at the Hillman Collaboratory, a workshop will be provided on the “racist roots of mass incarceration and how it intersects with other forms of oppression” with a basic anti-oppression framework. A discussion circle is hosted the following week on Wednesday April 27th 6-8 PM at the Hillman Collaboratory. RSVP to mano@freedomprojectseattle.org.
On Sunday April 26th 2-5:30 PM at the University Heights Center, Freedom Project is sponsoring the U-District Racial Equity Project (UDREP) – part of a workshop series that will be creating a Neighborhood Racial Equity Plan for the U-District. This is a great chance to get involved in the local community on racial equity organizing!
Finally, there will be a Trauma Workshop in the Age of Mass Incarceration on Saturday May 7th 10 AM-4:30 PM at the Samuel E Kelly Ethnic Center. This workshop will focus on trauma informed practice, trauma stewardship, and self-care, particularly within the context of the trauma survivors in prison. A great opportunity for those who might be working with folks in prison! RSVP at http://tinyurl.com/h8wk2rj
Hope to see you there!
