Anti-Racism 101- March 22

We are in a moment where the phrase "Black Lives Matter" is used with regularity in our workplaces and communities. In this 90-minute interactive webinar, we will discuss how white people specifically can learn to engage in conversation and activities about anti-racism and white privilege and examine why the dismantling of white supremacy is critical for all workers. Participants will learn how to take action in their workplace and community as a first step in a lifelong commitment to anti-racism.

The webinar will take place on Zoom. Please mark your calendar - the log-in information will be shared via email on Monday evening, approximately 1 hour before the start of the program.
