Path to Action Conference

Day 1 – Journey towards Racial Justice

A Path to Action: A Journey Towards Collecting Courage is a curriculum co-created by four leading and influential voices with deep experience in the Nonprofit Sector who came together to illuminate a practical path toward racial justice in the charitable sector.

We know based on the response to Collecting Courage Joy Pain Freedom Love that there is a desire to learn, grow and change in the face of white supremacy power dynamics and practices that is deeply embedded and upholds inequities and injustice in the charitable sector.

This learning guide is designed to respond to the question, “what now?” This journey is an individual exploration as well as a collective one. We believe there is a role for everyone to play and that transformation begins with the individual. We believe there is power in learning together. We know that social change is made possible through collective effort.

Day 2 – Impact of intersecting oppressions: Patriarchy and White Supremacy

With the understanding that capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy are systems of oppression that co-exist and interact concurrently, Day 2 will build on Day 1’s racial justice learning experience by exploring the intersection of Patriarchy and Whiteness and examining the toll and impact it has on people within organizations and those pursuing equity and justice.

In addition to examining what it means to be a ‘traitor’ to whiteness in pursuit of equity and justice, we will examine how to take care of our health and well-being as we engage in this work that requires a life-long commitment.
