Beyond WALL
coAction Presentations
Beyond the White Ally Learning Lab, coAction offers one to two hour presentations on racism and privilege for multiracial groups. These interactive presentations and film showings provide a deep and innovative understanding of how racism plays out and how to build the capacity to work towards ending it.
What Holds Racism in Place?
In order know how to intervene and interrupt racism, we must understand what holds this destructive force in place. This interactive presentation is based on a model of key components that maintain the “status quo” of racism and provides insights that empower us to take individual and organizational action towards racial justice.
From White Privilege to Collective Prosperity
Prosperity and privilege are not at all the same thing. One offers us community and connection while the other offers a false sense of superiority and a loss of integrity. This interactive presentation offers a way to understand the myths of success in a society built on racism and how we can both individually and collectively strive for a prosperity that works for all and not privilege for the few.
Like all, Like Some, and Like No Other
One of the things we hear all the time is …”Aren’t we all just human beings? Why do we have to label ourselves?” The answer begins with, “Yes, AND….” This interactive and reflective presentation maps out ways in which we share the universal quality of being human as well as having membership in a variety of groups. We will present a model which illustrates how we are both similar AND unique and how our multiple identities impact our experiences and world view.
Film Showing and Dialogue on Race, Racism and Privilege
Use of film is a powerful way to initiate dialogue around racism. coAction offers a two~three hour film showing and dialogue sessions to model how this is done. By creating an optimal learning environment for inquiry and new understandings, the conversations continue way beyond the workshop enabling individuals and organizations to work directly with the effects of racism.
