Daring to Be Powerful is one of New York City's largest People of Color centered community organizing workshops. The Audre Lorde Project aims to build both individual and collective power to better challenge the multiple oppressions faced by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two-Spirit, Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming People of Color communities. DTBP is our signature organizing institute for building skills, analysis of oppression & power, learning about current issues and campaigns to get involved with, and offering opportunities for strategizing and community organizing.
Come join us for our upcoming sessions, designed specifically for LGBTSTGNC People of Color only. It is strongly suggested to take both Part 1 and 2 in order.
Part 1: Friday, March 19th, 6pm-8:30pm AND Saturday, March 20th, 6pm-8:30pm
- Foundations of Organizing: Utilizing study and lived experiences to begin dismantling oppressive structures. Great for new organizers, or folks going back to the basics!
Part 2: Friday, April 9th, 6pm-8:30pm AND Saturday, April 10th, 6pm-8:30pm
- Nourishing the Seed: A deeper dive in to the critical roles of how healing, safety, gender, and race operate within Community Organizing. Great for ALP members looking to expand their roles as organizers.
