About this event
Facilitator/Trainer- Scott Winn
Sponsored by WVDO and Grantmakers of Oregon and SW Washington
This workshop will support participants in understanding the importance of utilizing a structural lens in efforts to create racial equity. We will deepen our understanding of our own positionalities/identities in relation to doing equity work across multiple oppressions. We will explore a framework for racial justice work that moves beyond merely valuing racial diversity to creating racial equity. We will look at assessing institutions in their process of becoming anti-racist, and strategies for transformation. We will look at racial equity impact assessment tools being utilized to transform policies, practices and programs towards the creation of racial equity.
