Despite being consistently ranked as one of the top places to live in the United States, the Race to Equity report showed Madison, WI to be one of the worst places for African-Americans. This participatory and action based session will highlight how data can be used to impact policy, people and practices within organizations. We will incorporate ideas around messaging with respect to different audiences, share and demonstrate the Race to Equity toolkit, and practice responding to racial equity detours that occur within organizations. Also, at the session each participant will identify 3 things that their organizations are doing well regarding racial equity; 3 things that they could be doing better regarding racial equity and create a timeline for taking action.
