Addressing systemic racism requires more than just good intentions. It demands a profound transformation of the power dynamics that sustain injustice. 

In a time of significant social and political upheaval, understanding power and how to disrupt and leverage it is more important than ever. Whether you are influencing, making decisions about, or implementing policy, leading community initiatives, or fostering change within your organization, mastering the dynamics of power can amplify your impact and drive meaningful, lasting change.

We invite you to attend two of our upcoming trainings to help you build a power analysis and utilize your power in making decisions in your work to advance racial equity.

Power Building for Racial Equity

Our newly relaunched Power Building for Racial Equity (PRE)* training is an updated and expanded version of the popular second step in our Racial Equity Training Series. This workshop is designed for those ready to delve deeper into the heart of racial justice work and understand the dynamics of power in racial justice.

From policy-making and advocacy to organizational change and community mobilization, understanding the role of power is essential for anyone striving to advance racial justice. Our PRE Workshop is your next step in developing the strategic insights and practical tools needed to transform power dynamics in your work and across broader societal efforts.

Power Building for Racial Equity* will provide you with a comprehensive framework to:

• Examine Different Kinds of Power. Understand the various forms of power, including oppressive and liberatory power, and how they manifest in societal and organizational contexts.
• Identify Power Structures. Learn to recognize power dynamics at play within your organization and community, both internally and externally.
• Transform Power Relationships. Acquire practical tools and strategies to shift power dynamics towards more equitable and just outcomes.
• Apply Transformative Practices. Explore how to implement power-transforming practices in your ongoing racial justice initiatives.

This workshop is tailored for:

• Non-profit and public sector professionals who are committed to integrating and advancing racial equity within their organizations.
• Racial and social justice activists, organizers, and educators eager to deepen their understanding of power dynamics and enhance their impact.
• Individuals committed to racial justice who are ready to engage in the challenging but essential work of addressing and transforming power structures.

We believe in the power of collective learning. Attending the workshop with colleagues or allies from your organization or community will enhance your capacity to implement the insights and strategies gained, fostering collaborative and sustained action.
