Equity Fundamentals will be presented over a series of two informative and engaging equity presentations.  We will facilitate a discussion on equity with the general public in two 4-hour workshops either in-person or via Zoom as outlined below: 

1. Equity Fundamentals. Having a shared language brings attendees to a joint understanding of equity and how it is related to systemic racism and oppression. This module offers participants information on core concepts, terminology, and theories to show how racism has been constructed and maintained.
   
2. Racism: An Historical Examination. In this module we will briefly examine the historical impact of racism and the current implications today. Knowing and understanding what systemic racism has meant through history allows us to explain the current implications today.
   
3. What is Power? Participants will discover the value in looking beneath the surface to employ our sagacious mind. When sagacity is used effectively, participants will be able to empathetically consider different perspectives to communicate and lead more equitably and to uncover solutions that ensure shared values remain intact. Sagacity reveals power dynamics in our everyday environment.
   
4. Applied Equity: Collective Power & Community Organizing. Present outcomes for People of Color that are rooted in systemic racism and oppression in an effort to push members to use this information in coming together around our values and build collective power for change.
