Topic: Why Race Matters Workshop: History, Systems & Strategies
Trainer: Anne Martin, Director, Greater Spokane Progress
Details: The Why Race Matters Workshop has been designed to provide a foundation for further racial equity work. Using the acclaimed documentary “Race: The Power of an Illusion,” the Why Race Matters Workshop, led by a multi-racial team of local facilitators, addresses how racial inequities have been built into institutions and structures throughout our country, why it is important to use a racial equity lens, and what we can do to advance racial equity in our organizations and in our community.
Our objectives are to:
Examine beliefs about race, advantage and justice, and how these issues impact our communities, organizations, and institutions.
Define and discuss implicit bias and explicit bias and examples of how they operate on individual and institutional levels.
Gain awareness of historical cases of institutional racism.
Define terms and develop an understanding of the difference between: structural, institutional, and individual racism; and equity and equality.
Identify structural and institutional racism, how it continues to impact us today, and begin to look at the complexities of the intersections with other oppressed identities.
Discuss local examples of institutional racism and begin to think about next steps for our ourselves and our organizations.
This is an in-person training. There will not be a call-in or webinar option.
Meeting agenda & materials will be posted to the Learning Cohort main page in advance of the meeting.
