Join us for a documentary film screening of “Anne Braden: Southern Patriot” by Mimi Pickering and Anne Lewis, about the life of civil rights leader Anne Braden and her work organizing white communities in the South for racial justice.
The film screening will be followed by a panel discussion linking Anne Braden’s civil rights work with contemporary struggles for racial justice. Panelists include:
- Rahula Janowski, Catalyst Project
- Gopal Dayayeni, Movement Generation
This event is a fundraiser for the Catalyst Project and our work training and supporting white, anti-racist leaders in California and across the country.
“The fight against racism is not something we (white people) are called on to help people of color with. We need to become involved as if our lives depend on it because, in truth, they do.” –Anne Braden
