What exactly does Avery mean when they say "race neutral"?

Carla F Wallace

31:32

Race Neutral electoral work does not name issues around race, seeing this as ‘divisive’ but in fact leaves white voters susceptible to racist messaging.

To all people registered

Claudia Horwitz

49:10

amen

Carla F Wallace

50:15

YES! White people who have a mutual interest with People of Color for the change we all need.

Carla F Wallace

55:03

So important to think about this point about white folks overcorrecting to get so small we are not showing up to do the work we need to do with other white folks.

Mark Brown

57:33

I love the point about white people needing to avoid over-correcting for past dominance, and to take the risk of making mistakes.

Claudia Horwitz

57:39

this is same with Stacey Abrams

Eli Berkowitz

59:30

Question: Would love some more specific examples of what “gov’ts in waiting” do following a loss, in addition/support to next election.

Z! Haukeness, They, Chapter Support, Louisville

01:02:24

We welcome other questions if folks have them, feel free to send them directly to me or in the chat to everyone.

Carla F Wallace

01:03:08

“Demand a radical democracy” YES!

jane Haugh

01:03:57

What state races need white people engaging with white working class/ working poor/ poor folx to flip the Senate?

Madeline Carroll

01:07:14

I am in Portland. I don’t think I got to meet Danita. I look forward to meeting both of you!

Madeline Carroll

01:07:38

We are *super* thrilled with how the event played out.

Robert W Neill Jr

01:08:47

That was a great call with Angela Davis

Claudia Horwitz

01:09:44

would be great to get to the “which swing states / which state races?” question

Tim Nafziger

01:12:28

Could you speak how this structure based organizing relates to Momentum based model (used by Sunrise and Cosecha for example) that aims to work at the intersection of structure based organizing and mass organizing moments like Occupy and Standing Rock?

Ditto, Rose! We have a great group of folks in Eugene who have talked about this, too. Were you at our happy hour on Thurs?

Carla F Wallace

01:31:30

Brilliant work KellySue! Shows that this is possible!

Hayden Mora

01:33:45

KellySue and and S, that is such incredible work. Thank you

Tim Nafziger

01:36:14

What does this National SURJ strategy focused on electoral work look like for those of us in areas without a Working Families Party presence such as here in Ventura County in Southern California?

Carla F Wallace

01:38:26

There will be an ‘Opt in” plan for folks connected to SURJ no matter where you are and no matter whether WFP is there (yet:)

Hayden Mora

01:40:05

Carla is right, as usual. there’s also no barrier no matter where you live. WFP is a national party and will engage and support SURJ no matter where you are in the country.

Robert W Neill Jr

01:42:21

That is a great idea to target sheriffs and da's
