SUMMARY:REI Phase One Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Raleigh Organizing Against Racism (ROAR) is sponsoring the Racial Equity Institute’s Phase One on May 14-15th in partnership with St. Paul Episcopal Church in Cary\, NC  \n\nThe country\, the world and each of us have changed a GREAT deal in the past year. \n\nIn-Person Phase One Two-Day Workshop with the Racial Equity Institute\nThurs May 14 – Friday May 15\, 2026 – 9:00am-5:00pm each day\nSt. Paul Episcopal Church\, 221 Union Street\, Cary\, NC 27511\n\nWe have community seats available for interested persons. We encourage you or others you may know to register and attend.\n\nBelow is a description of the training in case it’s helpful in your efforts to recruit and register.\n\nA foundational workshop that focuses on understanding the philosophy and core principles behind racism\, especially in historical and institutional contexts. Even those who are concerned about racial disparities in all American systems and institutions are challenged in their understanding of how racism remains present in outcomes. Moving the focus from individual bigotry and bias\, the REI Phase I workshop presents a historical\, cultural\, structural and institutional analysis of racism over 2 days. With a clear understanding of how institutions and systems produce unjust and inequitable outcomes\, participants in Phase I are better equipped to work for change.  Phase I builds the capacity of participants to identify the root causes of disparity and establish goals and strategies based on that more profound understanding. Participants develop an analysis of institutional racial disparities that helps their organization develop a shared understanding of the problem and common language to address it. This paradigm-shifting experience redefines equity issues as they manifest in systems and institutions today and the attendant actions of individuals seeking to address them.
