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.

A web talk- by Lyle Young- CSB- from Ottawa- Canada- available on big screens at Christian Science Church- Glebe- with social distancing and Covid-19 registration.Mary Baker Eddy- who founded the Christian Science church- had a profound insight into the nature of God as infinite Love. She perceived that God is the only substance- intelligence and Life of the universe- without the opposition typically ascribed to darkness or evil. Moreover- Eddy realised that this was the basis of Jesus' healing works.Such an unusual theology might have ended as a footnote to history- except that Eddy and her students boldly used it to reinvigorate Christianity and its lost element of healing. Since then- some 65-000 accounts of healing have been verified and published - healings of everything from cancer to AIDS to blindness- from drug addiction to broken bones.To the degree that we understand our identity as purely spiritual - knowing that each of us shines- now and eternally- as a unique expression of infinite Love - we experience healing. The result is wellness- opportunity- spiritual progress- and the highest degree of joy.Lyle Young- CSB is a Christian Science practitioner- teacher and lecturer. A deep and broad love motivates Lyle- a love of God- of the ideas in the Bible and in the published writings of Mary Baker Eddy. His love and affection for humanity is expressed in a keen interest in cultures- languages- history- the arts- and sports. Lyle runs and swims regularly and is a four-season cyclist. The latter sport relates to his support for the environment.
