SUMMARY:Inclusive Gender Identity Poc Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:The next NABA webinar on gender and race will be October 9th\, Monday\, 4 to 6 PM PDT / 7 to 9 PM EDT. Significantly more LGBTQI adults identify themselves to be persons of color\, making gender identity an even more critical issue among POCs and POC Buddhists. Gender identity and race intersect in ways that are more relevant for the marginalized\, for those confronted with hatred and supremacy\, and among Buddhist sanghas than many of us realize. For those immersed in the realities of these issues and for allies interested in learning more about ways to support those with non-dominant gender and racial identities\, the esteemed presenters Dr. Kamilah Majied and the Honorable Gretchen Rohr will lead this interactive session. Please RSVP here: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/7d4da70139aad0dd7c24e00bf0acd2b8Gretchen Rohr is founder of Justice in Balance\, a restorative justice forum dedicated to reconciling communities impacted by violence. \nShe serves as a magistrate judge at the D.C.

SUMMARY:MONTHLY WAG: 1ST SUNDAY'S
DESCRIPTION:RSVP Here for 1st Sunday of the Month Feb. to June 2018\, 10 AM - Noon PST / 1 - 3 PM EST Calls NABA's White Affinities Group is committed to continue its monthly space to talk about the work we're doing to end white supremacy and work for racial justice\, whether that's in our sanghas\, in the U.S. and beyond -- what we are learning\, what the challenges are\, and how this connects with our Buddhist practice. Our hope is that this kind of space could support and strengthen people's local organizing rather than taking away from it. NABA provides a unique opportunity to connect across Buddhist lineages and across geographic regions. Key points: \n\n* This is a chance to touch base every month for a short period of time\, rather than making an extensive commitment. * WAG is inclusive of all levels of experience with anti-racist work and Buddhism. We are all learning together. * All kinds of anti-racism work can be brought in for discussion. This could include conversations with people in your day to day life (sangha\, work\, family\, etc.)\, more formal collective organizing against structural and systemic racism\, internal learning and unlearning\, etc. * New folks can drop in at any time. * This is also a chance to practice facilitating white anti-racist discussion in a supportive space\, for anyone who wants to try that.\n\nCurrently Kara\, Ruby\, and Joshua are going to rotate facilitation and we'd love for other folks to get involved if this is something you want to try.\n\nWe will send more frequent updates and reminders through the WAG Google Group. To join the Google Group\, please register and show up on a WAG Zoom call.\nWe'd like to get to know you and know about you and racial justice.\nWe need more intersections between the overarching\, powerful Buddhists for racial justice statements and the daily grind of local diversity programs\, learning through sharing\, and continental multi-lineage conversations\, please join us in our attempt to connect the dots here at NABA! We hope to see you 1st Sunday each month! \n\nRSVP Here for 1st Sunday of the Month Feb. to June 2018\, 10 AM - Noon PST / 1 - 3 PM EST Calls\n\nKara Dansky  \nKara Dansky is the founder and managing director of One Thousand Arms and a long-time practitioner within the Shambhala Buddhist tradition. \n\n\n\nRuby Grad \n\nRuby Grad is a practicing meditator and Buddhist in the Ajahn Chah lineage of the Thai Forest Theravada lineage for close to 30 years.\n\nNot pictured is Joshua\, who has been practicing for 12 years with a sangha in a Rinzai Zen lineage and is involved in grassroots groups working to end white supremacy and colonialism.

SUMMARY:Buddhists for Racial Justice Call for All: Awakening Together
DESCRIPTION:Next Unified Racial Justice Call: May 21st\n \nThe next POC Quarterly racial justice calls open will be 5/21/19\, starting 11 AM PST. \nAnn Uyeda and NABA's racial justice co-facilitators will lead this call to explore Larry Yang's book Awakening Together: The Spiritual Practice of Inclusivity and Community. \nFrom the Buddha's teachings of interdependence\, our life experiences and practice\, we know that liberation is a collective process. My awakening is tied to your awakening regardless. At the same time\, we know that liberation and awakening do not come from bypassing the profound impacts of systemic oppression\, power\, and privilege on our interpersonal and collective relationships. How then do we\, in Larry Yang's wise words\, "embrace diverse identities and experiences within our spiritual communities\, building sanghas that make good on the promise of liberation for everyone" while also working towards a world based on mutual respect\, care\, and appreciation rather than hierarchy and division? \nPlease read up to chapter 1 or more in preparation for this call and make notes on any content that particularly inspired questions or insights for you. These pages in the earlier part of the book are available via Kindle store/app or via Google preview. \nWe would love it if you can commit to being on the entire call so that everyone may be fully immersed\, though we understand you have busy lives and may not have two full hours on Feb 19th\, so just come and go as unobtrusively as you can. \nRSVP Here for Quarterly Calls in 2019 \nRacial Justice Calls Open to All\n11 AM - 1 PM PST / 2 - 4 PM EST
