People in communities across the region and country have spoken out in support and opposition in school board meetings and the news media. Ethnic studies has become a lightning rod in an environment of political polarization and racial reckoning. Arizona banned ethnic studies and\, more recently\, other states are banning the teaching of critical race theory. \nWhile there is a long history of ethnic studies at the college level\, the current debate raises questions about K-12 education: \n\nWhy have students not been taught more complete history before? What do California students learn now?\nWhat are the impacts of learning about structural or systemic racism on young students?\nHow will teachers be trained and equipped to teach these issues?\nHow does ethnic studies education impact our broader communities and democracy?

In just the last four years\, we’ve overhauled our Fellows program reading\, continued to build on Class and organizational diversity at all levels\, and gone on deep journeys with now three CEO Diversity\, Inclusion\, Equity and Liberation cohorts. We are getting smarter together so that we may lead better. \nALF’s work around racial equity continues to evolve. Thanks to a generous Leadership Circle gift from Silver Lake\, ALF will be expanding our work of facilitating groups and evolving curriculum and networks to move the needle on racial equity. \nAs an inclusive organization looking to access the wisdom of the network\, We want to hear from you. \nWhile some of you have shared how ALF can help in this arena\, we want to invite additional input from the Senior Fellows network as we create an action plan for the next twelve months. We want to know how ALF might be able to assist in your learning journey and/or your work as it relates to racial justice\, inclusion\, and equity. \n***Zoom meeting link will be shared just prior to the event*** URL:https://www.alfsv.org/event/alf-focus-group-deepening-the-work-around-race-equity/ LOCATION:United States CATEGORIES:Race & Equity,Virtual ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
