David regularly facilitates online courses meant to empower people to build the powerful, diverse coalitions our movements need to be victorious. Some of these courses are designed for people of all backgrounds. Many are designed specifically to support white people to engage in multiracial movements with emotional strength, political clarity, and fierce purpose. Occasionally, David also leads in-person workshops and courses open to the public. These will also be posted here when they are available.

UPCOMING COURSES & WORKSHOPS
This fall, David and White Awake Director, Eleanor Hancock, will be offering Comrades in Struggle, a four-session online anti-bias training. It's an offering open to all that is meant to help participants unlearn racial and class biases, understand how bias is instilled into the masses to divide and rule, and gain skills for empowering others to see this manipulation and move toward solidarity. The course will include a strong focus on anti-Palestinian racism and antisemitism alongside many forms of racial and class bias that continue to be weaponized in our society.
The YWCA of Madison, Wisconsin, is holding their Racial Justice Summit at the end of September. The summit is among the largest annual gatherings in the United States of people committed to transforming relationships, cultures, and systems toward racial justice and collective liberation.
David will be giving a 4-hour workshop for white-identified conference attendees that draws on his Foundations of Radical White Anti-Racism training. While David's offering will take place in-person in Madison on September 27th, the conference includes an online portion on the 25th & 26th that all can join regardless of location.
Other conference speakers include Autumn Brown, Ruth King, Ijeoma Oluo, Kazu Haga, Lyla June, and more.
