The Antiracist Development Group is for white executives, managers, and other leaders who are interested in moving to the next level of personal and organizational equity work. The 8-week, small-group cohort program is a place for learning, reflection, peer support, and action, based in frameworks of intersectional social justice and challenging white supremacy culture. By addressing how we do our leadership work and confronting common patterns rooted in oppressive systems, we can strategically move organizational culture and practice toward alignment with antiracist values.
In most cases, we recommend that one person per organization participate at a time. This offers a degree of privacy for what can sometimes be a vulnerable learning process. Participants come from all kinds of organizations - schools, nonprofits, municipal agencies, businesses and community groups. Making connections with people who hold similar roles in different organizations, and who like you are committed to antiracism, is part of what makes the series so beneficial.
The program is most appropriate for people whose roles include two or more of:
- setting strategic direction for an organization (or division of a larger organization);
- making personnel (hiring/firing/promotion) decisions;
- supervising a team;
- setting policy for an organization (or division of a larger organization).
Since different kinds of organizations name their leadership positions differently, it might not be obvious whether this is the right fit for you. If you're not sure, go ahead and register, and we can discuss it!
If you can't make it this time, but you're interested for the future, you can also use this form to get on the list for next time. We recommend that one person per organization participate at a time.
