SUMMARY:AFREJ Learning for Action Series
DESCRIPTION:As we mark the 60 year anniversary since the Boston Workers Circle moved from Dorchester to Brookline\, the Acting For Racial and Economic Justice Committee (AFREJ) will are leading a Learning For Action series around the book\, The Death of an American Jewish Community: A Tragedy of Good Intentions. \nIn the past few years\, we in AFREJ have been learning about reparations and participating in reparative actions. As well\, we’ve co-sponsored workshops for the Ujima Fund\, a solidarity economy project led by working-class people of color that works to build political and economic power in Dorchester\, Roxbury\, Mattapan\, and Jamaica Plain. Through this work\, we have widened our concept of reparations in two ways: first\, recognizing that the Jewish exodus from and subsequent corporate and governmental disinvestment in these neighborhoods calls on us as Jews to localize our reparations work in these communities. Second\, our support for Ujima and other solidarity economy enterprises connects to our commitment to “full” reparations\, that is\, repair that transforms systems and guarantees non-repeat. \nWe began the series on November 17 and over the next 3 sessions — through a combination of group discussions of the book and guest presenters that will provide more historical and current context of this text — we hope to deepen our understanding of what happened in these communities and how we can continue to support their political and economic empowerment. \nBWC is a member-run community which means we can’t do this work without you! Please contribute any amount you are comfortable with at http://bit.ly/bwcpassthehat. When you access the link type AFREJ L4A in the Other box in the first section. Your donations will go towards providing an honorarium for both of our guest speakers! \nRegister Here: bit.ly/afrejl4a

SUMMARY:Building Democracy in Boston & Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Now that we have caught our breath after the Democrats squeaked by in November and Rev. Warnock was reelected by the people of Georgia\, it’s time to take stock of the fight for democracy. Winning by such razor-thin margins means we have our work cut out for us in the struggle for a besere velt (a better world). We are not off the hook in Massachusetts–there is much to be done right here in our own communities\, and a role for us to play in the project of national democracy building. Join us to hear from panelists leading this critical work locally and nationally\, and learn how to take action to protect and strengthen democracy here in the Boston area and beyond.  \nWe will have the following amazing speakers: \n\nSayer LaGalle\, Senior Advisor of Stakeholder Engagement for All Voting is Local / All Voting is Local Action\nAvir Waxman\, Director of the Massachusetts Political Cooperative\nNoah Wagner\, Campaign Director of IfNotNow\nAaron Dockser\, Field Representative Organizer for the Massachusetts Teachers Association\n\nThis event is pay-what-you-can (suggested donation of $5 to $10+).  Donate Here.  \nRegistration is required: Register Here.
