SUMMARY:Virginia Race Traitors Call
DESCRIPTION:RSVP today for our first Virginia based Race Traitor call\, happening this Saturday\, August 22nd\, 4:30-6 PM on Zoom.  Virginia Race Traitors is a series of calls focused on SONGs white membership in Virginia and open to all members across race. We will focus on white SONG members’ role in antiracist and abolitionist freedom struggles. \nWe hope to offer a space for vulnerability\, connection\, and political education while building the skills and capacity necessary for white members to identify and combat whiteness as an institutional\, cultural\, and personal matter. This process builds strength in the critical critique of ourselves and our collective world. \nRSVP Here
