Racial Equity Toolkit, webinar & podcast
Dominique Samari and I have created a comprehensive Racial Equity Toolkit for centering racial equity in collective impact. It includes six sections
- Looking Inward: Racial Equity Begins Within: activities for individual and team reflection
- Ground the work in Data and Context, Target Solutions: approaching strategy with targeted universalism and approaching data in asset-based, community-informed way
- Focusing on Systems Change, in Addition to Programs and Services: analyzing racial equity in the six conditions of systems change
- Shift Power within the Collaborative: mapping and analyzing power at your table and considering practices that shift power
- Listen and Act with Community: practices and examples
- Build Equity Leadership and Accountability: committing to individual leadership practices and organization/coalition leadership practices
We have recorded a podcast with The Collective Impact Forum and also provided a webinar on how to use it. The toolkit is free for members who create a free account at The Collective Impact Forum. We also provide training, coaching, and other support on implementing the toolkit practices.
