Living the Pledge to End Racism Workshop
Six Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 pm
May 8 to June 12
FUSIT committed to action on racism by adopting the 8th Principle two years ago. The Living the Pledge workshop is a perfect way for you to explore how you can get involved in anti-racism work. Many have found it worthwhile and challenging.
In the workshop we will:
Explore our own experiences with racism as children, and later into adulthood.
Examine our own implicit and explicit biases.
Learn to recognize and respond to micro-aggressions.
Improve our understanding of institutional and systemic racism.
Learn more about Black Lives Matter and associated groups.
Consider our personal commitments to fight racism.
Before each session, participants will prepare for discussion by reading articles and watching videos. You will be assigned to a small group that will meet for about half of our time together after a large group introduction to the session’s topic.
This spring’s workshop will take place over six consecutive Wednesday evenings on Zoom. A reliable internet connection is required. Each session runs two hours. You must commit to all six sessions.
