The Justice Leaders Core Course is open to all AFT Michigan local leaders passionate about issues of equity, inclusion and social justice. Learning will focus on issues of privilege, oppression and inequality along lines of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation. Participants will come to understand their own social identities, biases, and prejudices; increase their knowledge about the histories and present realities of various social identity groups; and begin considering how to incorporate this knowledge and awareness into their practice.

Participants must be willing to reflect deeply in ways that may challenge previously held assumptions and world views. Homework readings and activities will be required for each session.

**All sessions required. Teams of 2-4 recommended to have the most impact.**
