We are excited to invite you to the Undoing Racism® & Community Organizing Workshop by the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond (PISAB), a powerful 3-day in-person gathering designed to give us foundational analysis, deepen our understanding of systemic racism and strengthen our collective capacity for organizing toward change.
This intensive, interactive process challenges participants to analyze the structures of power and privilege that hinder social equity and prepares them to be effective organizers for justice. You must be able to attend all 3 days and times.

This workshop aligns with NYCAAMH’s commitment to an anti-racist, anti-oppressive lens and to advancing decolonizing values in mental health and community wellness. Rooted in collective learning and organizing, NYCAAMH seeks to drive sustained action, nurture healing, and build toward collective liberation. We hope that having this foundational analysis can support us in examining our role as mental health practitioners and linking our experiences to understand broader systemic issues.
