TIME: 11:00 PM - 1:00 AM

COST: Free Event

VENUE: Washington Peace Center

ADDRESS: 1525 Newton St NW, Washington, DC 20010, USA

Join the Washington Peace Center in identifying systemic and institutional causes and effects of anti-black misogyny. By the end of the training, you'll be able to identify the ways in which interpersonal and intrapersonal racism manifests in the lives of black femmes and women. Additionally, you'll be given tools to address not only our personal anti-black racism against black femmes and women, but also what we encounter as witnesses.

The conversations will be led by black women and femmes.
