If you have other access needs such as human-generated captions, ASL interpretation, etc., please say so in your application and we will meet as many access needs as possible.

What are Cross-Class Dialogue Circles?

Cross-Class Dialogue Circles are a powerful way for people across the class spectrum to come together to talk about their experiences with class, listen to each other’s stories and perspectives, build relationships, and collaborate for change. Engaging with each other across class is empowering, healing and liberating.

Cross Class Dialogue Circles bring together up to 20 people with a diversity of class experiences, ranging from being homeless, to managing family foundations, and everything in between. Our goals in meeting together are

to better understand class as part of an economic system, and our own experience with class and how it shows up in our daily life and communication, including and especially in intersection with race and racism
to learn and practice strategies for engaging with each other about difficult subjects
to learn and share practical tools for contributing to racial, economic, and social justice
to build relationships of accountability and collaboration within and beyond the group

We meet these goals with courage, depth, humor, and sincerity. The video below explains more about what Cross Class Dialogue is and why people find it helpful. A further, detailed explanation about the dialogue circles is available at this link.

We fund the circles primarily through participant contributions, and welcome donations of any size to support the circles.

To make your pledged contribution for participation in a past or current circle, pay here
To make a tax deductible donation through our fiscal sponsor, Peace Development Fund, donate here.

Either way, please indicate that it is for CCDC. If you prefer to contribute by check, contact Davey for the mailing address.

Register at https://forms.gle/8DctrSkHww8kn8jd9 Join us for the fourth cohort of the Antiracist Development Group for White Leaders, for leaders, managers and decision-makers interested in moving to the next level of personal and organizational equity work. This 8-week, small-group cohort program is a place for learning, reflection, peer support, and action, based in frameworks of intersectional social justice and challenging white supremacy culture. By addressing how we do our leadership work and confronting common patterns rooted in oppressive systems, we can strategically move organizational culture and practice toward alignment with antiracist values. The program is most appropriate for people whose roles include two or more of: setting strategic direction for an organization (or division of a larger organization); making personnel (hiring/firing/promotion) decisions; supervising a team; setting policy for an organization (or division of a larger organization). Since different kinds of organizations name their leadership positions differently, it might not be obvious whether this is the right fit for you. If you're not sure, go ahead and register, and we can discuss it! If you can't make it this time, but you're interested for the future, you can also use this form to get on the list for next time. We recommend that one person per organization participate at a time. If more than one person in your org is interested, we can put folks on the list for next time. Logistics: When: Wednesdays, 3:30 - 5:00 eastern, September 13 - December 1 Where: via Zoom Cost: This program is offered at a sliding scale based on the organization's budget.
