Focus for this Seasonal Reach-In/Teach-in:

Pat Is Back teach-ins honor the legacy of Pat Robinson and center BIPOC leadership and contribution.

Pat Robinson, a Black radical therapist encourages us to analyze and interrogate systems of oppression in ourselves and how we internalize them. The capitalist system, uses tools of racism and white supremacy to divide us. We want to disrupt any manifestations of whiteness that dominate, cause harm to BIPOC members or destabilize our multiracial teach-ins.

We invite you to participate.

(See Resources below, we will be using Gail K Golden's White Privilege as an Addiction & Our Alternative 12 Step models)

Reflections from past PAT IS BACK audience...

"Pat is Back is a Teach-In that is a great way to get to learn about this radical thinker and experience her techniques and practices and how you can apply it to your life especially in these tumultuous times!" A Black participant

"Political growth is hard to do alone, maybe even impossible...I think that's why we come together to Pat Is Back." A Latin participant

"I was pretty confused at first mainly because I haven't read the book (Lessons about Lessons From The Damned, Class Struggle in the Black Community, a book Pat edited) that's discussed or know who Pat is, however as the meeting went on I understood enough to get that there is a necessity for more awareness and action towards racial/social justice." A white participant
