I'm interested in learning more about what that organizing might look like. I'd like to hear more about what you're doing with the Barnraisers Project, and start thinking about deliberate next steps; now is definitely the time to act.
Sorry that it's taken me so long to reply to this (for "life in this moment" reasons, but still). Thanks for this! I'll be writing and sharing more about the Barnraisers Project too but if you want to hear more before that feel free to toss me an email (it's a gmail address-- just my name).
Love the "How to talk to white folks" doc. True that I didn't find anything in there that I'd never heard or considered before in one way or another, but you do a great job of framing the approach - what we need to do, how to think about the work, what makes it difficult, concrete suggestions for preparing ourselves to engage with people (whether "group 1" or "group 2"), how to think about what we are (and aren't) trying to accomplish with these conversations, concrete suggestions for following conversations up with joint action. I love it! Thank you.

Oh thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful (though I'm super sorry for taking so long to reply to this comment)
