White Awake’s growth into
Comrades Education
During our first 10+ years as White Awake, we focused on the need for class-based antiracism programming for white people.
While we will continue to hold occasional caucus-based programming for white people and/or folks with European descent, after the Study & Action for Palestine programming of 2024 it became clear the we had more to offer.
We wanted to bring our work to a broader, multi-racial audience, so we decided to offer our programming with a more inclusive name and brand.
Comrades Education will continue to provide holistic, antiracist, anticapitalist programming for the general public … now in the context of a more inclusive name and an expanded mission.
We hope you find a place for yourself in one of our upcoming courses.
Why Comrades?
Comrades are people who are on the same side of a common struggle. People who are committed to a common cause. Joy and discipline united by a vision of what the world as it could be if we took care of one another, made common cause, had one another’s backs.
The common struggle that ordinary people face today is a class struggle - between capitalist classes and everyone else. But the real enemy is the system that creates this division in the first place, and structures an entire global order around extraction, destruction, cruelty and greed.
Together let’s explore what a sustainable, life affirming society - based on relationship and care - might look like if ordinary people, all over the world, worked together to make this change.
About our logo
Our new logo is a nod to quilting (many pieces coming together to form a whole ...) complete with nod to anticapitalist, socialist and/or labor organizing by including a rose in the context of this handcrafting tradition that focuses on comfort, care and beauty.
