POWER (People Organizing to Win Equal
Rights) is a prime example of cooperation within our
community. Led by well-known activists Cheryl Linear and
Jennifer Hadlock, the group's mission is to organize and develop
anti-racism leadership that will help progressive activists
recognize the impact that white-dominant cultural norms and
standards have on their organizing. POWER seeks to unite
people of color and their white allies in a true multicultural,
multiethnic movement that will be able to effectively work for
social and political change.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, classism,
ageism, ableism...these oppressions are linked. By
participating in POWER's facilitated "fishbowl"-style exercises and
its discussions on principles and strategies, people (no matter what
their sexual orientation or gender identity) can learn more
about standing together in the fight for living wages, prison
reform, nondiscriminatory immigration policies, fair housing
conditions, GLBTI civil rights, and other forms of social
justice.
Meetings are held at Project 100 on
the fourth Monday of every month. Dinner is provided at
6:00 p.m., with meetings beginning at 6:30 and usually lasting
two hours. POWER is grateful for the assistance of True
Colors, Inc., which acts as its fiduciary agent, and for the
financial support of the Haymarket People's
Fund.
To learn more, call Cheryl at
860-953-8475 or Jennifer at 523-0250. E-mail may also be sent
