Faith & Racial Equity: Exploring Power & Privilege Study
Details
Faith & Racial Equity: Exploring Power & Privilege is an 10-session program that awakens groups to the economic systems, public policies, cultural norms, and hidden biases that empower some and oppress others.
The first half of the program lays the groundwork for understanding and identifying racial privilege. We will then take a deeper dive into specific issues related to power and privilege, including affirmative action, the school-to-prison pipeline, disparities within the criminal justice system, and biases in media representation. We will explore how our faith should inform their response to our learning, as well as discern action steps for working toward racial equity in our own communities.
This program will be facilitated by Claire Cox-Woodlief, Founder and CEO of CCW Transformation Ministries and Reggie Edwards. To learn more about Claire and Reggie, visit: https://ccwtransformation.com/about/.
