The inextricable link between poverty and race drive an urgent need for advocates to explicitly address the racialized systems creating disparate impacts in the communities they serve. Legal aid and public interest advocates must be equipped to understand the intersections between race and poverty; be comfortable and skillful in communicating these intersections; and understand the foundational concepts, skills, and tools needed to advance race equity.
Foundations for Racial Justice is designed to strengthen advocates’ ability to champion racial equity, both within their organizations and the communities they serve. Delivered in four weekly sessions, Foundations for Racial Justice introduces key language, tools, and skills to identify and dismantle the barriers to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment.
