Community Organizing for Racial Equity (CORE) works to deconstruct systemic inequities and achieve equitable outcomes for all people in Chatham County through education, organizing, and reconciliation. A team of racial justice organizers, trainers, and coaches at CORE provides services that adopt a racial equity framework, including community organizing trainings, equity fundamentals trainings, racial equity consulting, leadership coaching, and agency-specific trainings. CORE has hosted Racial Equity Institute, Inc. workshops in Chatham County since 2016 and has reached well over 800 people to date.

8-Hour Racial Equity Fundamentals Workshop (3)

June 1st and June 8th

8:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.

Join via Zoom

Module (1): Equity Fundamentals - June 1st

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.

Module (2): Racism: An Historical Examination - June 1st

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.

Module (3): What is Power? - June 8th

Participants will discover the value in looking beneath the surface to employ our spacious 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 and the power of biases in our everyday environment.

Module (4): Applied Equity - June 8th

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 their strategic planning.

Phase 1: Awareness

The initial three-part series will increase participant knowledge about the impact of race-based traumatic stress by developing a shared language and history. Developing a shared language and history on the trauma of racism facilitates participant understanding about the importance of dialogue on race and racism in their everyday lives.

Phase 2: Development of Skills

The next three-part series will provide resources and build skills to address historical trauma and racism by developing a culturally responsive equity lens within the trauma-informed framework.

Phase 3: Skills-to-Action

This final three-part series will focus on the application of equity skills in recognizing adverse outcomes of the intersectionality of race and trauma as being rooted in systemic racism and oppression. This phase will provide opportunity for participants to use this information to build their trauma-informed practice.
