Event Description:
Many Chamber businesses and organizations are asking what they can do to respond to systemic racism, workplace inequities, and exclusionary cultures in the current moment. Several Chamber
members have put out public statements regarding racism and issues of equity and inclusion but may not have all of the tools they need to challenge institutionalized forms of discrimination and inequality to build a better world.
To aid Chamber Members' desire to build greater diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in their respective workplaces, a group of experienced facilitators and consultants will be conducting a 6 part webinar series.
Session 1: SYSTEMIC RACISM IN TOMPKINS COUNTY
The concept of systemic or institutional racism and poverty is made tangible to workshop participants through an interactive workshop focused on housing and residential segregation in Tompkins County. Using interactive maps and tools, participants examine the homes and neighborhoods they grew up in to understand the connection between race, segregation, and opportunities for intergenerational wealth-building (or the lack thereof). After examining the long-term effects of housing segregation and discrimination on wealth-building, participants make connections between neighborhoods and access to other opportunities, including education, transportation, and employment that are skewed along racial lines. Participants walk away with a personalized understanding of systemic racism that can be used to launch discussions about social responsibilities and remedies.
Presented by: Dr. Paula Ioanide, Rise to Equity
