Critical Race Theory Summer School: Freedom Summer 2024: No U-Turn on Racial Justice

Jul/28/2024 - Aug/02/2024

$56.25

From state-level voting restrictions to the gutting of affirmative action to the banning of school books that discuss systemic racism, conservative extremists want to force the nation to make a U-Turn on our racial and social justice advances over the past seven decades. At Critical Race Theory Summer School 2024, attendees will receive the tools necessary to understand and prevent this backlash faction from pushing America to a frighteningly regressive future. From communications strategies to community organizing to policy development, CRT Summer School will fortify the efforts of our pro-democracy majority. In honor of Mississippi Freedom Summer 1964, Freedom Summer 2024 insists that on this 60th anniversary of that monumental Civil rights campaign, we won’t go back!

Subjects to be covered in CRT Summer School 2024 include:

  • Historical context for today’s backlash to racial justice initiatives and why it matters.
  • How the “war on woke” is really a war on Black knowledge, history, and other marginalized communities.
  • How colorblind liberalism laid the groundwork for the current backlash by de-emphasizing the importance of race and racism in American life.
  • How those attacking CRT and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives ultimately seek to turn back the clock on a century of civil rights advances and represent a broader attack on public education and public institutions.
  • How attacks on racial equity are connected to the assault on LGBTQ+ rights and liberties, and women’s reproductive freedom.
  • Understanding the ultimate goal of the anti-woke movement, which is to destroy the prospect of multiracial democracy through its vision in Project 2025.
  • Why centering racial justice and antiracism is the key to building and maintaining strong progressive coalitions, as well as realizing a multiracial democracy.
