Webinar presented by the SWC Decentering Whiteness Task Force

Thursday, October 2 6:00 - 8:00 pm AZ / 7:00 - 9:00 pm NM & El Paso

This interactive workshop will equip UCC members and clergy with the tools and understanding to navigate difficult conversations around racial justice, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, decentering whiteness, and other related topics. We will explore the concepts of "calling in”, "calling out”, and “calling up”, focusing on how to foster constructive dialogue, promote accountability, and create a more inclusive and just community. Through data presentation, role-playing, and small group discussions, participants will gain practical skills in addressing harmful behaviors and language in a way that aligns with UCC values of compassion and justice.

Participants will be able to:

Distinguish between "calling in" and "calling out" and understand the appropriate use of each approach.
Identify the key considerations for deciding whether to call someone in or call someone out.
Practice using effective language for calling in and calling out harmful behaviors or language.
Develop strategies for responding constructively when called in or called out.
Apply calling-in techniques to real-life scenarios related to racial justice, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and decentering whiteness.
