The purpose of this session is to provide a political analysis of the structural and intersectional natures of racism, gender oppression, and capitalism (also read class and economics). Participants will explore definitions of oppression, the micro and macro levels upon which oppression operates, and will reflect upon their personal experiences navigating these levels of oppression. Finally, this session aims to deepen participants’ understanding of how building and exercising power in public space is one of the most radical and effective ways to create inclusive and equitable and thriving communities.
