The online workshop experience provides a comprehensive course on the Humanize My Hoodie Movement’s approach to preventing racist attacks on Black people, Indigenous People, and other People of Color. The subject matter is pertinent to professionals in wide array of backgrounds: public health, mental health, juvenile justice, criminal justice, education, higher education, foster care, and community-defined evidence – in its attention to clothing and the irrational fear of people of color, particularly Black people. Using several innovative strategies, this online workshop experience mirrors the in-person ally workshop that has received overwhelming success. Workshop facilitators educate by using historical analysis, case law, theory and application opportunities, lecture, transformative assignments, and self-care breaks to maximize learning potential.
Participants will gain valuable knowledge to reduce threat perception, identify micro-aggressions, debunk myths of Black criminality, understand ally ship, and skills to effectively advocate for someone from a marginalized community.
The Humanize My Hoodie Movement is an inclusive grassroots approach that empowers people to challenge white supremacy and deconstruct harmful beliefs about Black people in hoodies. Addressing racial profiling, school-to-prison pipeline, police killings, mass incarceration, this workshop identifies healthy ways for concerned residents to uplift authentic leaders and trusted allies.

““Honestly everything was valuable. It was great that other resources were pointed to so that people can deepen their own work. This was powerful. Everything you all put together is deeply impactful. ”
Each person that attends the online workshop will receive an ally hoodie and official ally patch.
“The assignments forced self reflection and internalization of the concepts and videos shown. I have read and written many papers about white privilege and our system of white supremacy, discrimination, and marginalization but through that knowledge gathering, you are not challenged to reflect and think about how you would respond and I think this workshop did that through the various assignments which is so helpful! Especially when Jason describes his Florida trip, and the question was if I was Jason how would I have responded to that man. I have to say, it was hard for me to come up with an answer, a truthful one.”
