Programs for Organizations
Our education program is broken into a series of units each, designed to provide meaningful education that empowers participants to utilize their critical thinking skills in everyday life. It is specifically designed for organizations and the individuals that work within them.
Building Blocks
Provides a comprehensive understanding of foundational topics (i.e., redlining, banking, the prison industrial complex, race and opportunity, privilege, and tokenism) and their history, meaning, and impact.
Sample Chapter – The history of banking and zoning practices and their effects on access to opportunity. We explore how predatory loans and redlining created disenfranchised communities and underfunded schools.
Re-imaging Community
Community should uplift and support each other, both on an individual and community level. This platform explores the zero-sum myth and how it intersects with bias and community structures.
Sample Chapter – Community is much more than the area that you live in; it is also the way you interact with those around you on a societal level. We explore the roots of bias and how some communities are re-imagining safety and creating equitable communities.
Systems of Opression
Be able to recognize how systems (i.e., voting rights, education, justice, police, gentrification) are purposefully designed to marginalize segments of the population. Understand the impact of these systems throughout history and learn to recognize red flags in everyday happenings.
Sample Chapter – Explores how new ways to restrict voting rights overwhelmingly targets Black and brown communities.
Uncomfortable Situations
