Afromations & Analysis: Lessons in Anti-Racist Intergenerational Youth-Focused Organizing

For the past five years Youth Undoing Institutional Racism has used the People's Institute for Survival and Beyond's Undoing Racism analysis and principles to organize to disrupt the School-to-Prison Pipeline in Pittsburgh, PA. Come hear lessons from this multi-racial, intergenerational youth-focused organizing work and about our shift away from the burnout of activism and towards a more holistic model, grounded in healing justice and creative practice.

Amanda K Gross is an anti-racist organizer based in Pittsburgh, PA and a weaver of people, ideas, and threads. As the author and creative director of MistressSyndrome.com, she blogs about the interconnectedness of racism, patriarchy, capitalism, and white womanhood and is currently working on a book on that same theme. Amanda is a certified yoga instructor at the 200 hour RYT level trained by YogaRoots On Location's Anti-Racist Raja Yoga Teacher Training. She is a resource trainer with the People's Institute for Survival & Beyond and is Program Director for the American Friends Service Committee Pittsburgh program where she supports the work of Youth Undoing Institutional Racism Pittsburgh which organizes to dismantle the School-to-Prison Pipeline and co-create holistic alternatives.
