6-8:30

As part of Courageous Conversations and Youngstown’s ongoing commitment to dialogue about structural and institutional racism, LISTENING AS A TOOL IN ENDING RACISM is an interactive presentation of tools for challenging and undoing racism’s effects on our lives. Learn how to tackle the self-put-downs, confusions, anger, grief and other emotional harm done by racism that degrade our lives and impede our effectiveness as activists and people. Learn a simple yet powerful process of supportive listening to one another through Re-evaluation Counseling, a resource and process to assist in identifying, confronting and defeating racism in its various guises.

UNITED TO END RACISM is a group of people of all ages and backgrounds in many different countries who are dedicated to eliminating racism in the world. The main work of UER is to illuminate the damage done to individuals by racism and to undo this damage on an individual basis. The objective is to strengthen people’s abilities to interrupt racism in their daily lives, to free themselves from its effects, to take leadership, to form deep relationships across racial lines, to remove racism from our societies’ institutions, and to support the work of other individuals and organizations in ending racism.
