There’s a new urgency to the question: How do we advance anti-racist policies and practices when we work within a racist system?
Human services nonprofits, government agencies, philanthropies and the courts are dedicated to creating equal opportunity for all people. Yet racist policies and attitudes inside our organizations effectively block this goal and create harm.
Our first hour will examine how different actors – nonprofits, community-based organizations, government, philanthropy, the courts – have all played roles in creating and sustaining the racist systems within which we work and live. Our second hour will be a lively roundtable conversation with human services nonprofit leaders reflecting on how systemic racism, as discussed by the first panel, play out in the day-to-day practices of human services organizations.
Meet our Panelists!
