Advocate for Anti-Racist Practices Training
Understanding race, privilege, and identity in your work and workplace.
Duration: 1.5-hrs or 3-hrs
Overview
The term anti-racism has recently entered our vocabulary and prompted individuals, companies, and organizations to engage in various activities designed to assist historically marginalized and minoritized individuals and communities.
The term tends to evoke confusion and confrontation. Often confused with traditional diversity and inclusion initiatives, anti-racism encompasses diversity and inclusion; however, it primarily focuses on identifying systems, policies, procedures, and practices that maintain barriers and oppressive structures aimed at racial ethnic minorities.
This session is designed to introduce participants to anti-racism and provide an overview of how companies and organizations can effectively and strategically engage in anti-racism.
