elcome to Social Work Gatherings, an electronic organizing web site for social work practitioners and educators who have completed the People's Institutes Undoing Racism Workshop™. Initially serving the New York City metro area, Social Work Gatherings proudly expands outward across the United States.

The Undoing Racism Workshop™ moved us beyond a focus on the symptoms of racism to an understanding of what it is, where it comes from, how it functions, why it persists and how it can be undone. We now have a common language and understanding of race and racism that enables us to organize and build useful coalitions that will work towards institutional equity without minority status and social change.

Social Work Gatherings is a space where we can come together, share our thoughts and begin to develop a continuing community to bring about a new vision of what social justice will look like in our times. Our focus is to bring about systemic and structural change while providing much needed individual assistance.

This web site allows us to organize our growing membership body by location and field of practice for the purpose of building strong regional alliances that will support one another as we expand our movement.

You can go to ARA Training to find out about the next workshop, or order tickets online here.
