From Ally to Activated: Breaking Barriers to Community Action
Saturday, November 15
1-2:30 pm
FREE
The Oakland Asian Cultural Center, in collaboration with Kim Tran (from Desai and Tran Consulting), presents: From Ally to Activated: Breaking Barriers to Community Action.
It’s easy to see injustice or harmful behavior—online, in our communities, or in politics—and feel unsure about what to do. This workshop focuses on overcoming the personal challenges that prevent us from speaking up and stepping in.
Whether you’re a parent trying to protect a school, a neighbor trying to protect the folks next door, or simply a community member who doesn’t quite know how, when, or where to show up, join us to find some direction and build resilience.
What We Will Cover:
• Common fears, doubts, and social pressures that can keep us silent and stuck in moments that matter
• Figuring out how and where to start
• Juggling time, fear, and burnout
Together, we’ll practice strategies for safely and effectively overcoming personal obstacles so that we can each take meaningful community action.
Event is free to the public, but registration is required.
