David Dean is a political educator, writer, and speaker seeking to support the growth of transformative alliances in our social movements – solidarity that undoes the centuries-long project of reactionary elites to divide and rule.
He gives particular focus to supporting white people to engage in multiracial movements with emotional strength, political clarity, and fierce purpose. David leads independent trainings and is also a contributor and former Associate Director at White Awake, a racial and economic justice education center. Over the past decade he has taught courses for more than 5000 people and trained activists throughout the country.
David's forthcoming book, Roots Deeper than Whiteness: Remembering who we are for the well-being of all, is meant to help white Americans cultivate a rooted, anti-racist identity, based on a deeper understanding of their ancestry, that can drive their participation in efforts for collective liberation. To receive regular writing from David and learn about training opportunities with him, sign up for his newsletter, Toward Solidarity.
Foundations of Radical White Anti-Racism is meant to help those of us who are white let go of the counterproductive, mainstream models of activism we've been given. In their place, participants will be called to form a rooted connection to a hidden yet unbroken legacy of multiracial social movements based in the transformative principle of solidarity.
While live sessions of this course have ended, registration for the recorded course is open through the end of June. Participants will receive indefinite access to study materials and two months of access to session recordings.
