Solidaire's Power Over Patriarchy Circle - Application Form

Description

We learn patriarchy–the system of men holding power–before we learn ourselves. How does it enable our wealth but disable our own power? What does it take to account for its role in our lives, to shift our internalized norms, and identify new trajectories for our giving? Women are socially discouraged to talk about their relationship with money. In the tradition of feminist consciousness-raising circles, we will share personal stories to talk, for example, about knowledge about and control over money; “earning,” inheriting, and giving it away; and paid and unpaid labor in the home. As we contemplate how to shift philanthropy, we acknowledge that white, wealthy women have disproportionately benefited from their adjacency to patriarchal power. How can this toxic allyship be transformed?

Goals

- To explore what patriarchy is and how it interacts with other systems such as racial capitalism

- To look at histories of women challenging patriarchy

- To share our experiences around money and family and build supportive relationships with each other

- To think about what it means to control money and how we might use it differently

This circle is for you if:

- You want to conquer patriarchy and kick its ass

- You have conquered patriarchy and want to share your victories

- You want to discuss toxic gender roles in a spirited and supportive atmosphere

- You want to identify alternatives to patriarchal values and move forward on realigning your giving

Criteria:

Anyone who identifies as a woman or nonbinary

Willing to honestly examine the personal, interpersonal, and political aspects of patriarchy.

Attendance to all sessions encouraged. We are using a cohort model and want to build consistency with each other.

Timeline

The circle will meet six times, beginning in January 2023. We will meet once monthly for six months, for two hours, at a time TBA (which will be decided in consultation with cohort members).

This circle will be facilitated by Alethia Jones, and Rachel Sherman, to learn more about them, and see the full description visit: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1owwAFiiaaj6zrNOGxw2eAsAMTFVVs8bf2aPJJPFFkms/edit?usp=sharing
