Greetings community change makers!
I hope that despite the current political and social climate your spirits are not broken and you are finding hope in our collective expression and resistance. In critical times such as these, we want to extend an invitation to you and your representing organizations/communities to consider joining the Rainier Beach High School community for our 4th annual “BLOC Party” on Wednesday, March 28th from 9:00am-12:30pm.
The “BLOC” (Building Leaders of Change) Party is a transformative “day of social justice” that includes a powerful assembly with student performances, as well as 40 community-led interactive workshops that will build our collective power and make a difference in our community! (See our 2017 BLOC Party video here!)
We are currently looking for community leaders/facilitators/activists/educators/artists to lead (1) 90 minute workshop on a topic of their choice through a social justice lens. Broad themes include: identity, justice, arts and activism, cultural history, career exploration, etc. Will you consider conducting a workshop at this year’s BLOC Party that help will inform, inspire, and equip the young people at Rainier Beach High School in the work of justice?
To SUBMIT a workshop proposal or learn about more details click HERE. Submissions are due Wednesday Feb. 14th by 4pm. Attached are sample workshops from previous years for reference here!
If you have any questions, please contact Laura Wright at lwright@wa-bloc.org/ 970.618.8134 or Ifrah Abshir at abshirifrah@gmail.com/ 206.334.3528.
Let’s pull together! (Harambee)
