** Race + Power Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------

This week’s Race + Power newsletter looks at the hidden costs of inequity and who bears them. In our latest Tiny Spark podcast, we hear from women leaders in conflict zones around the world who are sounding an alarm about how the withdrawal of the US and the apathy of the Western world hurts women. A story from Amnesty International provides context on the crisis in Afghanistan. We also feature a story on how DEI consultants bear the hidden costs of that work. A Haaretz story on a recent global study of DEI trainings finds them to be largely ineffective in changing behavior and offers a more promising alternative—changing organizational systems.
