What is an Anti-Racism Approach?

Ensuring you and your team are taking an anti-racism approach requires the professional commitment and disciplined practice of challenging, abolishing, and/or transforming the beliefs, ideas, behaviors, policies, institutions, and systems that uphold systemic racism, the oppression of Black people and other groups historically marginalized by racial inequity, white supremacy, and their many expressions.

Applying an anti-racist lens shifts power, voice, and perspective to the lived experiences of communities of color with the intent of collective liberation through solutions that equitably distribute resources and foster self-determination.

Anti-racism is the path that leads to racial equity.

Beyond the Numbers Workshop

Gain insight on data justice principles in this introductory workshop where equity means centering community stories, history and wisdom.

This VIRTUAL interactive workshop fosters critical thinking to interpret data and develop data narratives that center communities. When using data, it is critical to unpack the stories behind the statistics, graphs, and catchy media sound bites. The power of the data narrative in decision-making can significantly impact policies and resource allocation, and it is the community from which data derives that is entitled to its ownership, narrative creation, and benefits.

Decoding Data and Language Workshops

Re-examine Your Messaging & Work Towards Racial Justice

Your team can deepen their understanding of how data and the words we use can dehumanize and deflect from focusing on systemic flaws with a private training. Structural racism is baked in our systems, and we offer a part one and two of this workshop as well as a hybrid version of the two. Workshop participants will walk away with ways to effectively use data and language to illuminate systemic barriers and reveal root causes.
