Junior High is hosting an ONLINE anti-racism training seminar specifically for venues, booking managers, and promotors. Los Angeles and surrounding areas only.
Hosted by Ida Yalzadeh, PhD, this seminar will take an abolitionist and historically-minded approach.
Topics will include:
— Police independent responses
— Racial bias in booking + curation
— De-escalation + conflict mediation
The seminar will be hosted via Zoom (link will be sent on June 7th) including a 30 minute break. Please reach out (contact@juniorhighlosangeles.com) if you’d like to participate but the ticket price is out of budget — we understand the financial hardships venues are facing and our priority is making Los Angeles a safer and more equitable place.
After your ticket purchase, a short survey will be sent to your email so we can best gauge community needs + venue specifications. Please fill this out by June 1, 2020.
