Our Programs
We believe that an effective anti-racist journey explores three fundamental components:
- Systemic Racism
- Interpersonal Relations
- Skills & Tools to Disrupt Racism
The first, Systemic Racism, reveals ways in which racism impacts our lives across institutions and society, such as Housing, Education, Law Enforcement, Healthcare, and Wealth Building & Banking. It is embedded in the policies, programs, and systems of our institutions, creating and sustaining racial inequities.
Once participants appreciate the systemic nature of racism, it is time to explore concepts impacting our Interpersonal Relations, including racial identity, privilege, bias, and discrimination. We identify racial influences in our society and examine our own behaviors, both consciously and unintentionally, and how to interrupt and challenge them.
With deeper understanding and self-reflection, we empower participants with basic Skills & Tools to Disrupt Racism. We provide practical advice and insights for these difficult conversations at home, at work, and in our communities, and ways to work for equity.
Challenging Racism offers a full range of professionally facilitated programs to build awareness and skills for both individuals and organizations to courageously talk about race.
