LIVE Webinar / FREE ... Monday August 10, 2020 ... 5:00 pm (Pacific Time) / 8:00 pm (Eastern Time)
With Sharon Kyle & Dick Price, LA Progressive Publisher and Editor
For many people, learning about our country’s tradition of inequality isn’t only emotionally threatening but also promises to be dreadfully tedious, just like almost every other assignment to “learn something important.” But there are ways to make the venture less intimidating, so we don’t have to fear being tested on our new knowledge or expected to act on it immediately.
“White Fragility” may feel like an offensive term, but it’s not inaccurate. Still, if we are sincere about addressing injustice, we need to find ways to progress without shattering our sense of self-worth.

Who are Dick & Sharon?
Sharon&Dick
Dick and Sharon edit and publish the LA Progressive. They also founded and host The Left Coast Forum — an annual convening of progressive activists, scholars, organizers, documentarians, media organizations and others who work to understand and restructure systems of oppression.
In 2008, Dick and Sharon launched the LA Progressive — intentionally bringing to the fore the progressive voice in Los Angeles. Their mission was and is to provide a platform for progressive thought, opinion and perspectives on current events.
The LA Progressive openly and unapologetically supports and employs advocacy journalism. They are committed to advocating for the public interest as opposed to the corporate agenda.
