Workshop Description:

As part of a weekend-long series of speaking engagements around the Twin Cities, Eric Ward will offer a two-hour workshop at First Universalist Church of Minneapolis for community organizers, justice organizations, and people of faith. A national expert on the relationship between hate, violence, and preserving democratic institutions, governance, and inclusive societies, Eric brings nearly 30 years of expertise in community organizing and philanthropy to his role as Western States Center’s Executive Director. 

This workshop will focus on the relationship between white supremacy, white nationalism and antisemitism and will make space for people to build relationship and a shared analysis of the ways that white nationalism and white supremacy use racism and antisemitism as tools to keep our movements divided. Given the rhetoric we have seen and will likely continue to see as the election draws nearer, it’s imperative that we all increase our capacity to recognize white nationalism and antisemitism when we see it and learn more tools to counter it.
