DARE and PolyPhonic Kick-Off Event
DARE workshop followed by PolyPhonic Open-mic with spoken word, short films, and a DJ.

DARE is excited to host a workshop kicking off the "Looking the Storm in the Eye" week of events. This workshop will include:

* Lessons learned from our collaborations with organizing groups in New Orleans, through the national Right to the City Alliance and Grassroots Global Justice Alliance;

* Black/ Brown Unity and connections between people affected by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, those affected by Tropical Storm Olga in the Dominican Republic, and people of color organizing in Providence

* Interactive activities examining the way that gentrification and displacement are taking place here in Providence, and how our communities can learn from the front lines of gentrification and displacement taking place in New Orleans

* An opportunity to contribute to the efforts of our sister organization there, Safe Streets, Strong Communities, and a collective vision to continue organizing in solidarity with the peoples of the Gulf Coast

We hope to see you there!
