The Center for Non-Profit Excellence presents an interactive webinar intended to help participants better understand just what “anti-racism” and “allyship” mean today. They will also improve their knowledge of why some frameworks have been ineffective and how to shift towards frameworks that drive real results towards racially equitable outcomes.
In addition, participants will gain knowledge of building a sustainable anti-racist strategy that can be imbedded within their institutions. Important considerations for this work at the organizational level will be articulated and described.
