Fieldstone Leadership Network San Diego, RISE San Diego and The Nonprofit Institute at the University of San Diego have joined together to create FORTIFY: The Racial Equity Series. This collection of webinars aims to provide nonprofit leaders with a foundational understanding, tools and resources necessary to lead in the areas of race relations and equity while strengthening the leadership, well-being and sustainability of nonprofit leaders and organizations committed to the work of equity and social justice.

FORTIFY: The Racial Equity Series was curated in response to requests from nonprofit leaders for assistance in supporting their work in the areas of diversity, equity and inclusion and in recognition of the tremendous difficulty under which nonprofit professionals are working to sustain organizations, manage teams and serve clients in equitable and just ways.

This session is the first in the FORTIFY: The Racial Equity Series. This six-week series will run through October 20, 2020 and will be hosted on Zoom. If you would like to participate in all six sessions please follow the link to FORTIFY: The Racial Equity Series main page.

A certificate in Foundations of Racial Equity will be offered to participants who register and attend the six-part series, read supplemental material and complete a course survey.

Session Description

Creating a Common Language for the Conversation

Facilitated by Dr. Zachary Green

This webinar helps us to forge a common language for our conversations on racial equity. 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.
