Training DESCRIPTION:On Sunday, June 11 from 9am-5pm, JOIN (Jewish Organizing Institute & Network) for Justice held “ROAR! A Jewish Leadership Training for Resistance, Organizing and Resilience.” The organization has held similar trainings in cities across the country in response to increased interest in social activism following the 2016 presidential election. Most of the approximately 30 attendees at the Boston event were Jewish, and the group represented a wide age range and varied levels of previous social justice experience.  Two facilitators used a variety of methods, including story-telling, case studies, discussion, interactive activities, and frontal presentation, to address various subjects throughout the day. Topics covered included power, engagement, campaigns, and working across lines of difference. The facilitators hoped that the training would leave attendees better equipped to organize for social change.
