SAVE THE DATE: Coming Together for Racial Understanding Workshop
This workshop is scheduled to take place TBD in July 2020.
Apply to attend by April 3, 2020.

Here is an opportunity to engage in democratic dialogues that address racism and inequities and learn how to engage your community in those dialogues. This workshop is not meant to be an end to your thoughts and feelings about historical or present-day racism and inequities nor is it meant to be a single experience of addressing internalized, interpersonal, institutional, structural and systematic racism and inequities. Rather, the workshop aims to serve as part of your process in addressing the power of language, our commitment to inclusion, our understanding of past and present policies and practices of inequality and how to begin the work of dismantling racism and inequities within UC ANR and within our communities. The workshop will be capped at 20 people.
