CARW monthly meeting- June 9th!
Please join CARW this coming Wednesday, June 9, for our monthly public meeting!
This month, the first half of the meeting will focus on looking at giving with a racial justice lens. Whether you regularly donate $5 or $5,000, learn some ways to make sure your money is going to long-term change towards social justice. We’ll talk about some strategies that folks are using here in Seattle as well as some more general principles of social justice philanthropy. Fundraising for people of color-led organizations is one of CARW’s strategies, and almost all of us donate directly to organizations, so please join us for this important conversation!
The second half of our meeting will be devoted to organizing & reflecting in our ongoing ally group projects. We will have a Q&A session for newcomers during this time and at the end there will be many great opportunities to get involved. We hope to see you there!

More Details:
Whether you are currently active in the Coalition of Anti-Racist Whites (CARW) or just wanting to learn more about how to be an anti-racist white ally, please join us! Our regular public meetings are typically held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at Cascade People’s Center, so you can mark your calendar for the year.
Each meeting will start with an optional potluck, followed by a brief introduction/opening and then a community- and analysis-building educational activity or discussion. There will be a different topic each month. After a short break, the rest of the meeting will be time for people involved in CARW projects to meet with their teams, make plans, and share important information with the larger group. We have a lot of important ally work happening supporting people of color-led organizations for 2010, so come get involved!
On-site, in-room childcare will be available. If you have any questions please contact Organizing Collective member Sean O’Neil at oneilltsean(at)gmail.com
