CGE's Anti-Harassment Caucus is holding a series of workshops based on the resources contained within Fumbling Towards Repair: A Workbook for Community Accountability Facilitators by Mariame Kaba and Shira Hassan. https://www.akpress.org/fumbling-towards-repair.html

These are opportunities to gain skills as facilitators of community accountability processes toward addressing and resolving harm. Our union hopes to use the experiences gained in these workshops toward applying them in instances of harassment and discrimination that regularly occur at OSU, both on the level of supervisors against employees and peer to peer instances.

For participants the hope is that these workshops will allow you to take the practical lessons learned and apply them in your lives outside of CGE as well, such as in your other organizations, groups, peer networks, or relationships.

The workshops will align with the areas of focus within Fumbling Towards Repair:

Jan. 28 Area 1 Key Frameworks That Inform This Work (1-40)
Feb. 11 Area 2 Food For Thought Facilitating (41-102)
Feb. 25 Area 2 continued (103-120)
Mar. 10 Area 3 Useful Activities To Try (121-155)

Each session will include discussion and exercises from the workbook.

For these sessions to be intentional and impactful, participants will need to read the documents in advance and RSVP for the dates. We ask as much as it is possible that you commit to attending each session. Participants that RSVP will be emailed copies of the reading materials.

Sessions will include breaks and we'll have coffee and snacks.

A brief preview of the frameworks that inform these workshops. According to the authors, Community Accountability Processes are informed by the following seven frameworks:
1) Ending sexual violence,
2) Trauma-informed practice,
3) Harm Reduction,
4) Healing Justice,
5) Prison Industrial Complex Abolition,
6) Transformative Justice,
7) Community Accountability.
