POWER BUILDING

LEADERSHIP ACADEMY

Órale’s Escuela De Liderazgo Comunitario will conduct a series of political educational workshops inspired by the school for Unity and Liberation, SOUL . Workshops seek to invoke civic engagement amongst low income immigrant women living in Long Beach. These workshops will take place in the evenings once a month between February and November 2020. Through these workshops community members will learn and discuss the concept of identity and how it shapes our daily life in relation to power and its effects. We will be discussing economic inequality, sexism, homophobia, and the structure of the education system for youth. Participants will have the opportunity to gain organizing tools that they will be able to apply to local and state advocacy campaigns. There will be groceries given out at the end of each meeting for participants.
