Building Anti-Racism Capacity: A Reflective Workshop for White Legislators and Advocates

Wednesday December 11, 2024 4:30pm - 5:15pm EST

We invite white legislators, advocates, and partners to participate in a reflective space to ground their intentions as allies and co-conspirators with Black legislators and legislators of color in our movement for a multi-racial democracy. This session will be offered twice, on the first and last day of the National Conference. Healing Justice facilitators will hold space for self-introspection and empathy building, foundational skills to combat white fragility and improve the capacity of participants to engage in meaningful anti-racist work in their roles as policymakers, colleagues, and collaborators.
