From Ally to Accomplice® – The Community 

Are you ready to move to action?

For the past few years, we have been working with individuals to help them gain the fundamental, foundational skills necessary to be an effective antiracist. In the next version of the Community, we are going to take it up a notch. What that means is simply: We want action!

People often say, "I am learning so much and I'm fired up, but I struggle to connect the learning with moving to action." Well, here is your opportunity. Join us!

Each month, this virtual community will focus on a specific area of antiracist organizing, education and action. Topics will include:

  • Ending gun violence
  • Reproductive justice
  • Closing the wealth gap
  • Housing rights
You'll join a monthly topic-focused Wokeshop with guest speakers*, such as Rachael Joseph from Survivors Lead, to learn, ask questions, and understand ways you can get involved. You'll receive monthly actions and homework, have access to a monthly group coaching session, and share in an online community with other accomplices.

This opportunity is for people who have:

  • A foundational understanding of systemic racism, bias, and injustice through programming such as The Homework Sessions or From Ally to Accomplice®
  • Personal understanding of their own race analysis
  • Commitment to authentic personal and professional antiracist development

* Speakers to be determined. Subject to change based on availability.

New to the work?

Welcome! We are so glad you are committed to starting your antiracist journey. We're currently finalizing an entry-level online course specifically for folks who are just starting their antiracist journey. This program will function as a pre-requisite to the Community and will give members the foundation they need to start moving to action.

“You can read and ingest as much content as you want on your own but having someone like Seena who combines education with EQ and creativity to be a guide and teacher gave me so many tools, resources and frameworks to apply to the way I think, behave, act and show up.”— From Ally to Accomplice® participant
