Class helps shape all aspects of our lives, including how we organise in social justice movements. This 2 day workshop aims to deconstruct our classed experiences and the ways in which we reproduce the same class system we fight against, in order to create stronger, more egalitarian social justice movements.
The workshop will start at 9:30 and finish at 17:30 each day, with lunch being provided.
This workshop also aims to:
1. Make space for poor & working class folks in social justice movements to centre and articulate their own experiences and knowledge, and share it with others.
2. Support middle class and owning class folks in social justice movements to recognise and take responsibility for the psychological and material benefits of their class position and take steps towards change
3. Make space to talk and plan for taking action such as collectivising and redistributing financial resources.
4. Support the mobilisation of cross-class people working towards radical social change
5. Support a culture of mutual aid and accountability amongst individuals living and working in Newcastle and surrounding area.
