Building an Equity Container: Operationalizing Equity by Tending To Your Holding Environment
A workshop for leaders looking to build strong multiracial teams that excel at working through harm, tension and conflict in racial justice work.
About this Workshop
Has your team laid a foundation for racial equity work, but it still feels like you aren’t getting anywhere? If so, it may be worth looking at your team’s container – the conditions that allow teams to actually be together in the work of dismantling white supremacy.
Efforts to change organizational policies, practices and structures often fall apart when your team’s relationships are not where they need to be. And unexplored tensions around how power, accountability and other factors operate on your team can cause harm (especially to team members of color) and damage relationships, undermining your team’s work.
Building an Equity Container: Operationalizing Equity by Tending To Your Holding Environment will support participants in building stronger equity containers, so that their teams can work through disagreement and conflict in ways that bring them closer together and closer to transformation.
