Thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________ Tatamagouche Centre presents - Educating Allies: Breaking the Cycle of Oppression March 5 - 6 Fri. 7 pm - Sat. 4 pm Dare to hope for a more just world! Do you want to join others to work seriously at transforming society? In this workshop we will reflect critically on our roles as allies in working toward anti-discrimination. Together we will identify connections and parallels in various oppressions, reflect on the nature of solidarity and accompaniment, and work to build non-competitive networks for those involved in solidarity with the oppressed. Leadership: Anne Bishop discovered sexism when professors didn't hear what she said in class until a male student repeated the point. Later she went public as a lesbian and discovered what it feels like to be spit at, threatened and told by complete strangers that she was going to hell! Through involvement in anti-poverty and anti-racism work she was also forced to see herself as a member of an oppressor group. The author of Becoming An Ally: Breaking the Cycle of Oppression, she and her partner operate a small organic farm in Nova Scotia; and Eric Tusz-King, Outreach, Stewardship & Mission Support with the Maritime Conference, United Church of Canada, is active in social justice work. Cost: $135 includes tuition, food and lodging. Bursaries Available! For Further Information, or for your free 2004 program calendar, contact Tatatamagouche Centre at 1-800-218-2220; by email at tatacent@tatacentre.ca or online at www.tatacentre.ca === ____________________________________________________________________________ Did a friend forward this to you?
