A Special Presentation of the Tides Foundation. A small vanguard of accomplished activists/thought leaders is building a body of work that makes transparent those structures that inhibit our ability to be a healthy, diverse society with high standards of accountability. Structural race analysis provides a framework for thinking about how racism is perpetuated in our society and how, by changing and rebuilding these structures, we can create greater opportunities and fairness for all. Join leading thinkers in a two-part workshop that will include both analysis and an exploration of opportunities we all have to act in a more conscious and just way. With: Maya Wiley, Center for Social Inclusion; Colette Pichon Battle, Moving Forward Gulf Coast Inc.; Gihan Perera, Miami Workers Center; Van Jones, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Manuel Pastor, Center for Justice, Tolerance & Community, UC Santa Cruz. Note: This is a double session. (A3)
