Anti-Racist Learning Group

August 26, 2020 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Free

Talking candidly about race can be daunting, but we recognize that doing so is necessary to further social change. You are invited to a judgement-free conversation about racism and what it looks like to journey/transform from being non-racist to anti-racist. Prior to our learning group, we ask that you digest a few resources before joining your fellow Torchbearers in a facilitated discussion. Together, we will explore actionable steps to enhance intercultural competence and fight systemic oppression in a meaningful way. Our goal is to learn from each other and grow together as Torchbearers.

Mandatory Activity, 10 minutes: Project Implicit / Harvard (You are NOT going to be asked to share results, this is just so you can get to know yourself better!)

Choose at least one of the options below:

Short Article, 6 minutes: Is Your Company Actually Fighting Racism, or Just Talking About It?

Social Media Thread, 3 minutes: Types of Racial Microaggressions

Videos, 18 minutes: Decoded / Franchesca Ramsey
