Institutional Equity II: Leading change, shifting systems

Starts: 2020-01-31 09:00:00 | Ends: 2020-01-31 16:00:00

Please note the updated location. We moved the training to make space for people on the wait list.

In Institutional Equity I, we introduce our equity framework and analyze how your organization’s values and practices drive your outcomes. In Session II, we jump right into exploring common racial inequities in the workplace and concrete shifts your organization can make right now.

In this training, we will support you in navigating the complexities and challenges of trying to shift organizational systems by:

  • Explicitly naming the dynamics of racial inequity embedded in workplace cultures
  • Introducing further frameworks for racial equity analysis
  • Inviting you to practice in small groups with examples and challenges you bring from your own experiences
  • Exploring strategies you can employ, regardless of the position you hold within your organization, to lead the advancement of racial equity

Prerequisite:

Institutional equity training with Resolutions Northwest that included the sun model. The next session of Institutional Equity I is on Thursday morning, January 30, at the same location. More information and registration

Note:

While the concepts are applicable to interrupting multiple systemic oppressions, this training will focus on racial equity rooted in contemporary and historical analysis of anti-Blackness, intersectionality, and systems of white supremacy.

Deepen your equity praxis

A training is as useful as what you do with the material. We invite you to join us for our Equity Praxis Workshop, to be posted soon, from 10-11:30am at our offices (different location). This is a free session where you can get support as you engage with the successes and challenges of moving your outcomes into better alignment with your intentions.

Recent Participant Feedback

“Incredible day at the Institutional Equity II Workshop led by Resolutions Northwest. Our ED and I spent the day listening to folks whose lived experience does not afford them the privilege of ignoring the systemic racism that pervades all of our lives. We are a predominately White organization, and we are working to change our outcomes to be more equitable. To do that we will change our systems. To do that, we will listen to those who do not have the privilege from which most of us benefit – White Supremacist Privilege. We will listen, we will hear them. We believe them. We are acting on their requests. Grateful to have been led so forthrightly and so honestly.”
