International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

March 21, globally is marked as the International Day for the Elimination against Racism.

In the present day, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is an opportunity to empower people of all different races. It is a chance to learn from the mistakes of the past and work towards a future of harmony and equality. For business owners who hold significant power over their company’s racial diversity, it must also inspire inclusion efforts to eradicate discrimination in the workplace.

The 2023 theme of International Day focuses on the urgency of combatting racism and racial discrimination, 75 years after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Here are some ways to honor International Day for the Elimination against Racism:

Stand Up Against Racism
Lead By Example
Host a Diversity Training Workshop
Donate Money to a local racial equity charity.
Improve anti-discrimination policies
Learn about Racial Equity Tools.

Learn more about the history of International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Ramadan

In the U.S., Ramadan is expected to begin on Wednesday, March 22 and continue through April 21, ending in the celebratory Eid al-Fitr.

Muslims believe that Ramadan is meant to strengthen their relationship with God. The religious holiday involves fasting, praying and being around loved ones.

Ramadan is a holy month designed for fasting, time with loved ones and prayer, including asking for forgiveness for sins. Muslims believe it was during this month God gave the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad and told him he was in charge of carrying God’s message.

CIE Partner Gathering

The CIE Partner Network works to improve the overall service delivery system for clients. Our meeting provides a forum for partners to share updates about ongoing CIE Initiatives, share trends in our community, and collaborate on how we as a network are leveraging our partnership, data sharing, and the CIE technology platform to address the social determinants of health and increase health equity.

Join us for a range of content. Each month, we may dive into the latest technology projects, elicit feedback on the platform’s care coordination tools, or spotlight programs and supports for unique populations. The partner gathering is a space to engage with peers across our shared network. Join us on the 4th Thursday of every month (except November and December) at 9:00 am via zoom.
