Dates: 2nd Tuesdays of the month (February - November) Time: 3:30 - 4:45pm MT Location: Zoom Meeting Room The events of 2020 have made it clear that inclusion for everyone is a goal we can all work towards together. In this group we will have discussion groups and presentations to help us each take steps toward reducing our own unconscious biases, share our stories if we have experienced the effects of bias, and keep the conversation going regarding inequity. This will be a safe space to explore our own relationship to bias and racism – whether we have experienced racism or have work to do in exploring our own stories – and to learn more about the value of diversity and inclusion. Because of the nature of the discussions, we will have robust boundaries in place to make this a safe place to discuss wherever you may be in this journey.
Inclusion is Everyone's Responsibility! Commit to keep learning, having conversations, sharing experiences of racism and bias, recognizing your beliefs and biases and our own complicity to inequity, and work to change systems. Anyone who is interested in exploring unconscious bias and conscious inclusion should join! We especially would like to invite those who have experienced othering, racism or discrimination to share their voices.
The time is now to identify, transform and move from unconscious bias to conscious inclusion; and from racism to anti-racism.
