Nontoxic Family Dinner: A Workshop on Class Privilege
Join us for an evening of conversation, reflection, and organizing around wealth and class privilege with fellow students. Susanna Penfield of Resource Generation (RG) will facilitate an educational workshop on wealth and class privilege and introduce students to RG’s theory of change, organizing model, and achievements. We will also hear personal stories and experience from those who have redistributed wealth in solidarity with social movements. If you care about supporting movements for environmental, climate, racial, and economic justice, and interested in learning ways in which wealth and class privilege can be leveraged to support social justice, this is the space for you!
More about Resource Generation:
Resource Generation is a multiracial membership community of young people (18-35) with wealth and/or class privilege committed to the equitable distribution of wealth, land, and power. Wealth redistribution is already happening. Through dynamic organizing, praxis groups, political education, chapter events, conferences, local campaigns, and being in community with each other, our work as an organization helps grow our membership of young people with wealth taking action toward the equitable distribution of wealth, land, and power. Since our founding in the 90s, our members have protested in the streets, spoke out at city council meetings, become heads of their family’s foundations, founded donor networks, and moved millions of dollars into revolutionary organizations led by working-class and poor communities and people of color fighting for economic and racial justice.
