Norms and Protocols

"Racial equity work should make us all think and challenge us to think and accept new information. Racial equity work is also about changing systems and centering the experiences and voices of people and communities of color. "Heidi Schillinger and Erin Okuno , Equity Matters 

Frequently norms for discussions about race and equity feature,” ‘safe space’ agreements, and lots of other standard meeting practices. ... those types of meeting norms cater to whiteness. They allow the status quo to continue and don’t push people, both white people and people of color, to understand their roles in undoing racism and challenging long-held beliefs.”
