DINNER for YOUNG PEOPLE OF COLOR WITH WEALTH
7:00 _ 9:30 pm on Monday, July 21 Pacifica, CA Facilitators: Stephanie Yang & Ron Ragin RSVP: sam@resourcegeneration.org
. What are CORE Dinners? CORE dinners are an informal community space where young people of color with wealth can support and challenge each other to align our resources with our values.
Dinners are hosted in homes, and are free.
There’s no need to bring anything— just let us know if you have any special food needs.
Young people of color with wealth struggle with complex intersections of identity based on race and cultural identity, class privilege, career, entrepreneurship, family dynamics, inheritance, nationality, migration and immigration experiences, education, gender and sexuality.
Our experiences can fall outside of social norms and can leave us feeling isolated.
Dinners are a place to share common experiences and differences as we come to terms with our financial situations and explore ways we can individually and collectively become powerful agents of progressive change Who comes?
Young people of color with wealth who care about social change.
"Wealth" is self_defined by people who participate in our programs.
The amount of wealth people have access to— or expect to have access to in the future— varies greatly. This wealth comes from many sources including earnings, inheritances, legal settlements and lottery winnings.Some people who are involved have access to class privilege or philanthropic resources (for example, as board members of family foundations) but do not have access to personal wealth. Generally, everyone involved in CORE feels like they have or will have access to more resources than they need. How do we define young? Generally between the ages of 18 and 35. How do we define people of color? Issues of race and racism are extremely complex, and exact definitions are impossible.
However, we offer this imperfect working definition of "people of color" as our best effort to provide a safe caucusing space for our diverse constituents who have been targeted by white racism and imperialism as individuals or as communities: We mean people of African descent, Asian/Pacific Islander descent, Latin@s/Chican@s, Native Americans and other indigenous peoples, people of color from the Middle East, Jews of color, and people of mixed heritage, including transracial adoptees.
Confidentiality These dinners are designed to be a confidential space for young people of color with wealth to explore their relationship to money, class, race, and privilege. This means that attendance is confidential, that there is no fundraising or solicitation, and that all participants are young people of color with wealth or partners of young people of color with wealth.
This creates a space that allows those attending to be open about their experiences with people who share similar experiences.
CORE is developing programs for young people of color with wealth and organizing for racial equity and inclusion within Resource Generation and in the field of philanthropy.
