SDWF members and guests are invited to join us on April 20th for our next Community Partner Connection featuring Casa Cornelia Law Center, a recipient of funds in our cycle 20 grants supporting refugees, asylees and asylum seekers.
Casa Cornelia is a San Diego nonprofit law firm that has provided free, quality legal services to asylum seekers, unaccompanied children, and undocumented victims of domestic violence and human trafficking for 28 years. Last year, SDWF awarded Casa Cornelia an unrestricted grant that allowed them to continue to provide pro bono legal services to asylum seekers despite the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic and ever-changing immigration policy.
Attendees will hear from Casa Cornelia Executive Director Carmen Chavez and Managing Attorney of the Pro Bono Program Katherine Paculba Lacher about their efforts to provide quality legal services to promote human rights, and the many challenges faced by asylum seekers and victims of crime.

SDWF Racial Equity Series: Beginning Where You Are as Who You Are
2021-04-08 13:00 - 14:30 | Online Event – Zoom
SDWF is partnering with Dr. Zachary Green, expert trainer and Director of Leadership Development at the University of San Diego’s Nonprofit Institute, to bring you this learning session, “Beginning Where You Are as Who You Are” as the second session in our two-part Racial Equity Series.
Shame about one’s ignorance and fear of confronting friends and family who engage in racist behaviors have been identified as key factors contributing to an epidemic of silence in the movement for racial justice. This webinar will help attendees assess where they’re at on the equity journey and provide the tools to help us take the next step and forge a pathway towards a greater voice on the lifelong journey of racial equity.

SDWF Racial Equity Series: Creating a Common Language for the Conversation
2021-03-11 13:00 - 14:30 | Virtual Event
Join us on March 11 for Session 1 of our Racial Equity Series as we learn to forge a common language for our conversations on racial equity.

SDWF is partnering with Dr. Zachary Green from the University of San Diego’s Nonprofit Institute to bring you this learning session, “Creating a Common Language for the Conversation” as the first session in a two-part Racial Equity Series.
Beginning with an exploration of what we mean by race and equity, the presentation shifts to consider definitions and different perspectives on concepts such as white fragility, privilege, systemic racism, and anti-racism. The aim of the session is to help listeners learn and feel better equipped to enter conversations on race.
Our Racial Equity Series will be held in two sessions:
March 11: “Creating a Common Language for the Conversation”
April 8: “Beginning Where You Are As Who You Are”
The Eventbrite link is for Session 1 of the series.
Although it is not required, we hope that you will join us for both sessions since they will build upon one another.
