Send WP4BL to the Catalyst Project

WP4BL is committed to fostering a leaderful membership.. We have an opportunity to send members to the Catalyst Project's Anne Braden Program. One member was accepted and a second member was waitlisted. The program requests that organizations provide financial support to offset programmatic costs and other required travel expenses.


We are asking that you help us reach a goal of $3,300. If the waitlisted member does not receive placement, those funds will be directed to future development and training opportunities for members. We ask that you invest in us and recognize that investments like this help to sustain our organizing efforts for the long haul. Every dollar counts.


These costs cover flights for two roundtrip from the Los Angeles area to the Bay Area, ground transportation, meals, and an organizational contribution to the Catalyst Project for program costs.

A synopsis is below:


This 4-month political education and leadership development program is designed to support the vision, strategy, and organizing skills of white activists in becoming accountable, principled anti-racist organizers building multiracial movements for justice. The program includes 3 intensive 4-day workshops in person, one-on-one mentorship, readings, research homework, small group support, and grassroots fundraising.


Location: Oakland, CA San Francisco, CA


Program Description:


This program is part political education, part leadership development and personal transformation work, and part organizing training.  It’s not a series of “101” style workshops, but a rigorous political education and leadership development program intended to support white activists in becoming more effective, historically-grounded anti-racist organizers, leaders, and multi-racial movement builders. We are asking that applicants already be actively engaged in grassroots organizing work and commit to staying in and reflecting on that work for the course of the program. Participants should plan on spending an average of 4 hours/week of work between the in-person sessions.


Participants in the Anne Braden Anti-Racist Training Program:


- Develop an understanding of white supremacy as it interconnects with patriarchy, capitalism, heterosexism, imperialism, settler-colonialism, the gender binary system and the state

- Learn about histories of resistance and liberation, and about social justice movements today

- Learn about transformative organizing and develop anti-racist organizing skills

- Receive mentorship and anti-racist leadership development

- Learn tools for anti-racist strategy development, campaigns, leadership development, communications work, and alliance-building
