The racialised narrative surrounding Covid-19 has sparked a surge in racial abuse targeting People of Colour.Whether it's a new poll finding almost one third of Australians blame the Chinese community for the pandemic. Or a study by the Migrant Worker Justice Initiative revealing a quarter of Australia's international students faced racial abuse during the pandemic. Or an Asian Australian Alliance survey collecting more than 500 stories from people of colour of coronavirus-related racial abuse within a few months.People of Colour are experiencing a surge of racially motivated attacks. That's why we're launching regular Resisting Racism workshops to further equip People of Colour with the skills- strategy & community to be powerful changemakers.This free 3 hour interactive online workshop will cover the fundamentals of advocacy for people of colour- including:Campaign strategy: what is a campaign- campaign strategy overview- how to create a winning strategy- difference between strategy & tacticsStrategic communications: messaging- framing- communication frameworksOrganising: building power through peopleDigital: using digital tools to create changeSelf-care techniques to deepen personal resilience to racismParticipants will leave with the foundational tools to change hearts- minds- public policy and corporate behaviour in a moment of increased racial abuse targeting People of Colour.This workshop is free and open to people who identify as First Nations- Black or a Person of Colour.Special thanks to the City of Sydney whose generous support has made these workshops possible.
