GOALS
The primary goal of this workshop is to develop confidence in our abilities to:
- Integrate the Richmond Pledge to End Racism into our daily lives
- Confront racism and bias in our everyday lives
- Recognize and challenge systemic racism
- Take leadership in ending racism in our community, our culture, and our lives
As part of the workshop, participants develop a community of support and an understanding of how to use support in deepening our work in building a just and equitable multicultural world.
