Where: Online via Zoom

You are invited to join us virtually on Tuesday, February 15 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. for REI Groundwater Training. In this lively and participatory presentation, Racial Equity Institute organizers will use the groundwater metaphor, along with stories and data, to present a perspective that racism is fundamentally structural in nature. By examining characteristics of modern-day racial inequity, the presentation introduces participants to an analysis that most find immediately helpful and relevant.
