Fulfilling the Promise of Opportunity
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.
FPWA is committed to helping meet this challenge. We’re convening a two-hour virtual event entitled: Power Shift: Casting off racism to create transformative change. We’re seeking an open and honest discussion about the changes we must make to build true and lasting racial equity and power sharing into every aspect of our work. We’re inviting human services staff, leaders, and board members, philanthropic individuals and organizations, government staff and leaders, policy influencers, and the general public to join the conversation on September 18, 2020 from 10 AM to 12PM.
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.
Registration is required.
