You know racism is real, and you want to end it, but how?

Join us Friday October 29 to learn how.

This is not a talk of antiracist theory but antiracist tactics--tactics that anyone, of any race, can use to strike a blow against injustice.  Antiracism is not about what we feel but what we do, and there are specific techniques we can use to create a just world.

Antiracist strategies are skills that can be learned just as we learn skills for public speaking or hitting a baseball.  In this talk, you-- whether a person of color or white-- will find a playbook for leading your workplace, organization or community through transformative change in the wake of an act of explicit racism.  You'll learn to play antiracist rhetorical chess, and to anticipate and effectively respond to the discursive moves of people who don't understand bigotry, aren't aware of it, are in denial of it, or even actively uphold it-- so that you can advance justice goals.  You'll get a blueprint on how to dismantle systemic racism community by community, workplace by workplace, organization by organization-- and examples of what not to do.

The talk is aimed at people who are conscious of the reality of racism and want to end it but may not know how.  The talk clearly shows how anyone can make an effective, significant, and measurable impact on racism through strategic action.

ABOUT OUR PRESENTER

Shannon Prince D'09 is an attorney, legal commentator, and author of the forthcoming book "Tactics for Racial Justice: Building an Antiracist Organization and Community."  After graduating magna cum laude from Dartmouth Shannon earned her doctorate in African and African American Studies and her master's degree in English from Harvard Graduate School or Arts and Sciences as well as a law degree from Yale Law School.

Shannon has drafted best practice language on policing policies for the National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice, represented plaintiffs in CCJEF v. Rell, a high-profile landmark education adequacy lawsuit, and is currently representing the Cherokee Nation in their lawsuit against pharmaceutical distributors and pharmacies for their role in the opioid crisis that the tribe is suffering.

Besides the forthcoming book, her writing has been published in The Hill, Transition Magazine, Science, and Jezebel among other venues.

Shannon is inspired by the multitude of ways Dartmouth women live out the principle of "vox clamantis in deserto," and hopes her workshop will empower them to speak and act on behalf of racial justice.
