Organizing Racial Equity: Shifting Power – Virtual

Thursday 9 December 2021

2nd training in Race Forward’s Building Racial Equity Training Series. Must have attended Building Racial Equity Training to Attend.

 

In a moment unlike any we have faced as a global community, we know that Racial Justice is more important than ever.

As public demonstrations of grief and rage continue to erupt across the nation, as Black, Indigenous and other people of color communities continue to be ravaged in the wake of this global pandemic – many of us are left reeling and struggling to make sense of the world we live in. Many of us are also left wondering, where do we go from here – and what could possibly be next.

Race Forward believes that the root of our current conditions is structural racism. Our offering at this moment is to fortify our communities with the tools and analysis we will need to effectively shift power for racial justice within our institutions, policies and lives.

This training is the next step in our Building Racial Equity training series. You must have participated in a foundational Building Racial Equity training in order to access Organizing Racial Equity: Shifting Power.

The Building Racial Equity series, developed by Race Forward: The Center for Racial Justice Innovation, are interactive trainings for those who wish to sharpen their skills and strategies to address systemic racism and advance racial justice. Our expectation is that those who attend this training are actively engaged in racial equity work and are ready to build their analysis around power in order to shift power to advance towards racial justice now.

Organizing Racial Equity: Shifting Power is the second training of the series. Participants will build on and strengthen racial equity practices for themselves and their organizations and networks. This training will strengthen participants’ collective analysis of power while providing useful tools and framework to shift power within groups, institutions and other formations seeking to advance racial justice in this time.
