We’re born into and come of age in particular political and cultural histories. We embody different class, race, and gender-based identities. And we hold onto worldviews that help us make meaning of our circumstances and inform our decisions. Our self-interest is where all of these things collide. Learn about the difference between selfishness, selflessness, and self-interest. Acquire tools to share your story of self. Understand how operating from self-interest helps us to move through the world with purpose and come into right relationship with others as we fight together on the frontlines for justice.
Relationships are everything. Organizing thrives on building authentic relationships across race, class, and gender differences. Learn the art of the 1-on-1 organizing conversation and spend time practicing 1-on-1s with other community members.
