From Commitment to Action: Turning Anti-Racism Commitments and Policies into Practice

This workshop builds on the May 2025 session, "Building Anti-Racist and Equitable Organizations," by shifting from foundational learning to practical implementation.

Many organizations have made anti-racism policies and are eager to demonstrate their genuine engagement with the community in positive ways. This workshop will help you explore how to implement your organization’s anti-racism policy and/or commitments, and foster organizational accountability both within your team and with the broader community.

The 2-hour interactive online session will offer concrete tools, templates, and strategies to help newcomer-serving organizations strengthen their anti-racism action plans and begin implementing policies in realistic, sustainable ways.

The workshop is intended for leaders, managers, HR personnel, supervisors, and board members.

Expectation:
This webinar is a 2-hour session, delivered virtually via Zoom. Participants will receive a list of post-workshop resources, including samples and best practices.
