Banning the Box – Leading with Race
Minnesota and Seattle have successfully implemented Ban the Box policies to ensure that people with conviction and arrest records have an opportunity to gain employment. These policy victories were won by low income communities of color who kept racial equity front and center in the organizing campaigns. In this workshop we’ll discuss how leading with race impacted the strategies used, shaped the campaigns, and strengthened policy. In this workshop you will learn how to make the case for racial equity in all your organizing work using story, data and racial equity analysis tools.
