RACIAL JUSTICE LECTURE: Anti-Racist Vision for Our Collective Liberation: Why #BlackLivesMatter Should Matter to Everyone
About the speaker:
Chris Crass writes and speaks widely on anti-racist organizing, feminism for men, strategies to build visionary movements, and creating healthy culture and leadership for progressive activism. His book Towards Collective Liberation: anti-racist organizing, feminist praxis, and movement building strategy draws lessons from his organizing over the past 25 years, with groups such as Catalyst Project, Food Not Bombs, Colours of Resistance, and the Against Patriarchy Men's Group, as well as lessons from case studies of historic and contemporary anti-racist organizing.
In the past year alone, Chris has given over 75 talks and workshops on anti-racism in white communities, feminism and men, social justice leadership, and creating healthy culture for powerful movements, with over 3000 people across the U.S. and Canada. Drawing out lessons from over 25 years of activist experience and speaking on themes from his book Towards Collective Liberation, he uses storytelling, cases studies of successful organizing, movement history and participatory education to create a dynamic learning environment.
From Georgetown University and Harvard to Haverford College and Arizona State University, he has given students critical insights into social justice activism. In talks with community groups from Montreal, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Tucson he has shared stories and lessons on organizing from a place of love and possibility. In sermons with faith communities in North Carolina, Tennessee,and Ohio, he has inspired members with insights on spiritually grounded, vision-driven leadership.
He lives in Nashville, TN with his partner and their son. You can learn more about his work at www.chriscrass.org.
