Advance Racial Equity, Systems Change
Amplify your social justice work and advocacy
The social justice movements have provided everyone an opportunity to learn or enhance their approach when it comes to addressing equity. Anti-Racism practices challenge and transform beliefs, ideas, behaviors, policies, institutions, and systems rooted in white-centric ideology. The purpose is to shift power, voice, and perspective to the lived experiences of Black, Native, Latine, and many other historically marginalized communities—restoring justice where there were inequities.
Our workshops give you the tools to identify systemic barriers, their root causes, and equitable solutions.
