The Jubilee Two workshop is an intensive two and a half day program that is based on a power analysis of racism. From Friday evening through Sunday afternoon participants work with experiences anti-racism trainers to examine and analyze historical and institutional racism in the United States.
Exercises in the workshop explore the historical development and power dynamics of racism, the social construction of racial identity, and an analysis of three manifestations of racism - individual, institutional, and cultural. The workshop helps Unitarian Universalists (UUs) to develop a Unitarian Universalist spiritual and theological grounding for anti-racism and anti-oppression action.
To deal effectively with systemic racism it is important to have an accurate diagnosis of racism and to use terms that have clearly understood meanings. During the Jubilee Two workshop the group develops this common analysis that leads to discussion of many of the issues surrounding and feeding racism. There are three aims of the analysis training:
1. To work with participants of the anti-racism and social justice teams on a strategy for creating internal institutional change;
2. To inform participants about the available support and programs offered by the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) that reinforce the work already being done in the congregation;
3. To generate enthusiasm and build momentum for continued anti-racist education and organizing in the congregation.
The training provides background and understanding of the mandate of the General Assembly Resolution passed in 1997 in Phoenix, AZ calling for the commitment to develop an anti-racist multicultural religious community at all levels of the UUA. In applying the analysis of racism to specific situations in our denomination as it functions as an institution, we focus on how we can create an anti-racist religious community. In addition, the Jubilee Path, which includes both "Creating a Jubilee World" and Jubilee Two workshops, provides a comprehensive educational and organizational process to increase awareness of racism, power, and privilege and to develop strategies for congregational change. |
