What past participants are saying about the Anne Braden Program:

"The Anne Braden Program has been a transformative opportunity for me
to engage the moment we're in differently: to look at its
contradictions as opportunities for new ways of thinking and
organizing. Through learning and building with 33 dedicated activists,
a visionary leadership team, a powerful mentor, and a fierce volunteer
placement, I had the opportunity to hold the contradiction of my
inheritance and my intentions."
Morgan Bassichis, ABP 2008 participant

"We have begun to redefine love as, not a passive force, but a force
that can actively turn us to look at the ways white supremacy and
other systems of oppression have invaded our lives as to be able to
help uproot these systems from our minds, bodies, communities and
world."
Berkley Carnine, ABP 2008 Participant

"I have been an activist since I was 16. Never before have I felt so
deeply dedicated to social justice work. I am so spiritually fed by
this experience. I have never felt so grounded and supported in making
a sustainable lifetime commitment to this work. This program has truly
altered the course of my life and I am encouraging many of the white
people I know to participate when it is offered again."
Philipe Lonestar, ABP 2008 Participant
