Freedom Project works alongside the community to dismantle the institution of mass incarceration and heal its traumatic effects on individuals directly impacted by incarceration, on their loved ones, and on our community. As a community-centered and culturally-responsive organization, we come from, are in, and are directed by the community we seek to serve – working to center those most impacted and marginalized, especially Black, Indigenous, and Communities of Color. We create space for collective healing and liberation by seeing each other for our humanity, meeting needs as defined by individuals and by the community, and amplifying the power that already exists among us.

How We See People: Anti-Oppression / Mass Incarceration Workshop
2022-08-27 10:00 - 15:00 | Freedom Project, 227 Wells Ave S, Renton, WA, 98057
How do we see people? What’s the impact on others? What lenses do we see through and where do these lenses come from? How are *we* seen?
Whether we are overvalued or undervalued by society, the ways that we are seen are influenced by multiple systems, histories, experiences and institutions. This workshop seeks to explain the systems and institutions that shape the ways we see ourselves and others so that we can be more accountable for the impacts: internalized racial superiority, internalized racial inferiority, prejudice, fear and discrimination towards folks with conviction histories.
Through practice, experience and discussion, we will develop a basic anti-oppression framework, especially useful for people who want to work in prison, work with people in reentry, or who work in nonprofits. We will also discuss the roots of racism and mass incarceration and how they intersect with other forms of oppression, especially anti-Blackness.
Freedom Project works to dismantle the institution of mass incarceration and heal its traumatic effects on our community. We’ve been supporting programs in Nonviolent Communication and mindfulness inside Washington State prisons and in reentry for over 18 years. We believe that a successful social movement needs collaboration between folks working to break down oppressive systems from the inside and the outside. This workshop is part of the work we do to understand why people are incarcerated; examine our implicit biases about race, gender, power and violence; and practice making empowered choices about how we see people.
This workshop will be held in-person in Renton. Self-attendance matters, so let us know of any accessibility needs you have to support your participation. This workshop is interactive and relational, not a one-way presentation.
TIMES: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM **Because this workshop is relational, the ending times are approximate.**
This is an all-ages event. This workshop is offered free of charge.
