Multicultural Resource Center hasn't added a story.
*Thanks to generous contributions, we have raised $3,000 offline toward our campaign! We still need to reach our remaining $2,000 goal by this Thursday. Thank you for your generosity!*
Dear Community,
In 2016 MRC community members traveled to Atlanta, Georgia for Facing Race 2016. It was an amazing experience, happening in the days directly after the 2016 presidential election. While processing the election results, the power expressed through the attendees of the conference was incredible, as we sang, danced, and learned from each other about many different legacies of resistance and organizing strategies. 20 MRC members were able to attend workshops on everything ranging from arts, media and culture, to organizing and advocacy, to inclusive democracy and more. We engaged with the words of freedom fighters like Michelle Alexander, Alicia Garza, Rinku Sen, Linda Sarsour and so many others. And we built community with each other, dreaming about how to bring what we were learning back to our home communities in Central NY.
The past two years have been full of so much powerful work and building for all of us who attended Facing Race 2016. We have deepened our projects or started new ones in the realms of food justice, health and healing, indigenous rights, ending mass incarceration, and many more. And we could not be more excited to head back to the Facing Race Conference, this year in Detroit, to continue learning, growing and gathering the inspiration to put our dreams into action.
Attending Facing Race in the incredible movement city of Detroit MI will allow Multicultural Resource Center community members the opportunity to access dozens of workshops, panels, and plenaries, build relationships with multiracial and inter-generational organizers, educators, creatives, and other leaders, and collaborate and share knowledge with movement builders, media makers, and other influencers. It will allow us the space to draw needed inspiration, passion and excitement from activists around the world. It will allow us the time to be with each other out of our every day context, engaging with lessons together that we can take home and continue building on here in Ithaca and beyond.
And we need your help to get there! It is ambitious goal to send 20 community members to the conference, but we know we can do it with your support. MRC has been brewing a grassroots movement here in Ithaca, and you can be a part of it! We are raising $10,000 by the end of October to cover the costs of travel, lodging, food, and conference registration. Please give generously today to ensure that we can take advantage of this amazing opportunity!
We love you and can't wait to keep building together.
