1:30 PM – 4:30 PM
The bulk of the workshop will be dynamic and active work in individual self-reflection, small groups, and large groups to complete a personalized advocacy plan. The workshop is a structured step-by-step guide that allows for individual modification and adaptation, allowing for transferability of skills across settings. Participants can continue to work on in community with their accountability partners (fellow workshop participants) as well as in their home communities. Participants will work individually and also brainstorm together to offer feedback, encouragement, and suggestions to have each participant:
1. Identify a specific advocacy target (issue, population, or concern)
2. Identify existing resources (information, people, communities)
3. Identify barriers and facilitators to action, including emotional overload and burnout
4. Identify strategies for self-care, self-compassion, community activation, checking out, and checking back in
5. Identify cognitive and behavioral strategies to employ strengths and work around barriers
6. Develop an accountability matrix to help participants to continue to do the work

Join us on Thursday, Feb 24th 8:30am for a Meditation & Yoga Practice with Randy Aaron Yoga
Randy Aaron was first introduced to yoga while attending NYU: Tisch School of the Arts and immediately fell in love with everything that it embodied. Since then, Randy has immersed himself in everything yoga and is now devoted to sharing his acquired knowledge with anyone who will listen.

For Randy, yoga cultivates the true meaning of wellness: an open mind, functional body, and a peaceful life. It is an ongoing practice. Continuous growth (not unrealistic perfection) is the goal. As a practitioner, Randy teaches students how to love themselves without guilt or judgment—while extending that love to others.

Taking a new approach to translating social justice into action, we are so pleased to have the African American Policy Forum join us to lead a 90 minute workshop titled "Decoding Legislation: A Critical Race Theory Teach-in". Founded in 1996, The African American Policy Forum (AAPF) is an innovative think tank that connects academics, activists and policy-makers to promote efforts to dismantle structural inequality. They utilize new ideas and innovative perspectives to transform public discourse and policy. Additionally, AAPF promotes frameworks and strategies that address a vision of racial justice that embraces the intersections of race, gender, class, and the array of barriers that disempower those who are marginalized in society. AAPF is dedicated to advancing and expanding racial justice, gender equality, and the indivisibility of all human rights, both in the U.S. and internationally.
