Dismantling Antisemitism

Antisemitism is a core animating force of fascism, Christian nationalism, and white supremacy; it is also a contested concept that has been misused against the Left. This training will unpack the logic of antisemitism, its history, and how it currently functions in our political landscape. We will situate antisemitism in a broader context, as part of intersecting systems of oppression, examine some of the ways that it harms both Jews AND other marginalized groups—such as (Jewish and non-Jewish) BIPOC and trans people—and how it is used in the service of the Right’s divide and conquer strategy. Come untangle the often reactionary and convoluted narratives about antisemitism that disrupt and misdirect our organizing, and learn how to identify and challenge antisemitism to build resilient, interdependent movements.

“This training did an incredible job examining what antisemitism is without skating over the ways the concept has been weaponized by the right to harm movements. I highly recommend this training to anyone who wants to take a deeper dive into understanding the ways antisemitism, racism, and so many other forms of oppression are intersecting and perpetuated by white Christian nationalism.”

F.A.Q.

Who is this training for?

Dismantling Antisemitism is for any group that wants to understand antisemitism, how it functions, and how to challenge it; in particular:

  • groups that have been accused of antisemitism because of solidarity with Palestine, and want to understand what antisemitism actually is and how it functions;

  • groups that may be experiencing tension or fractures due to the conflation of antisemitism and anti-Zionism;

  • groups that want to expand their understanding of Christian hegemony and how it is connected to antisemitism;

  • groups that are invested in collective liberation, and want to include Jews and a commitment to working against antisemitism.

How long is this training? Who can participate?

This training is 2 hours long, and typically takes place on Zoom. I invite workplaces to participate as a full staff; staff and board; or together with coalitions or partner organizations. I invite member organizations to participate with all or as many members as possible. The training makes space for a range of participation styles; although no individual will be put on the spot to share, my trainings are always better when there is robust group engagement.

Does the training have captioning or interpretation? What about other access needs?

Automatic Zoom captioning available will be available, and I can arrange live CART captioning and interpretation by request. Please let me know if there are any other access needs we can attend to.

How much does the training cost?

The training is billed on a sliding scale, at my half-day rate.

Can we record the training?

You can request to record the training for internal use; it will be available to view online for members of your organization for 30 days.
