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.
Must register in advance to attend – Zoom details will be sent closer to the event date.
