Internalizing Racial Equity Institutionally

Countless social change agents start and lead nonprofit organizations with the intention of making the world more just and equitable.But then they discover that it is hard to change a system, steeped in white culture and supremacy, while trying to succeed in it at the same time. In this highly participatory session, participants will construct visions for nonprofit organizations that embody and advance racial equity. We?ll assess and analyze current institutional policies, practices, and cultural norms. What are the ways, consciously and unconsciously, that we perpetuate racism and white privilege in and through our nonprofit organizations ? and what are the replicable ways we resist and interrupt these dynamics? We?ll close the session with a dialogue to uncover catalyzing strategies and actions that will pave the road to our desired transformation.
