As Asheville Showing Up for Racial Justice has a goal of mobilizing thousands of White people in Asheville to dismantle White Supremacy, on Friday, March 8th, we are centering class and holding our first week afternoon meeting of the Poor and Working Class Caucus. We will be focusing on ways to mobilize ourselves and other poor and working class residents of Western North Carolina. The onramps to racial justice work MUST have lanes for the poor and the working class!
This meeting will also provide space for extended check-ins, as many of us have concerns for our own ability to show up consistently due to work and difficulty meeting basic needs in a capitalist society.
Agenda:
1. Introductions, Group Norms, and Check-ins: 45 minutes
2. Core Values and ASURJ Updates, including Core opportunities: 10 minutes
3. Caucus Input on Middle and Owning Class interest meeting being planned for late March: 15 minutes
4. What helps us show up/ what do we need of a Middle Class and Owning Class Caucus (in the process of being formed) and what can we give each other: 5 minutes
5. Future caucus planning/ promotion/ potential roles within the group: 5 minutes
6. Upcoming events/ how do we get involved/ announcements/ and goodbyes: 10 minutes
If you can’t make it this time, we are in the process of planning an evening meeting during the third week of March. Afternoon meetings are during the first week. Let us know your schedule! We hope to be pick regular days on which to have our caucuses soon. We hope you’ll keep in touch! (-Matilda)
