About our partners for the Direct Action Training Camp: Wayside Center for Popular Education: "Wayside has made a commitment to build and amplify voices and languages
not often heard in organizing and movement spaces. We are working in
Virginia, North Carolina and DC with organizations that see the need, and the organizing
power, of connecting people across race and language especially in
immigrant communities. When we begin to see language as a tool of
empowerment that gives value to people's culture and way of being, our
organizations grow in heart, experience, and perspective. When we begin
to see that interpreting is not just "for" mono-lingual non-English
speakers but in fact for everyone who is unable to understand all
languages present in a conversation, we can begin to see people working
from abundance and not deficiency. When we interpret well, we open
space for the jokes, the perspectives and the soul of everyone in the
room to come through, building deeper solidarity, democracy, and a
broader movement for change". Visit the Wayside website here.
Greenpeace: Greenpeace is an independent campaigning organization that
uses peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global
environmental problems and to promote solutions that are essential to a
green and peaceful future. Visit Greenpeace's website here.
