Webinar: Breaking the Cycle of Racism: Thinking Beyond the Protest

  • What can we do to break the cycle?
  • How can we harness the current momentum to bring about real, lasting change?

 

Join Andre Henry, program manager for CSA’s Racial Justice Institute, and Micky ScottBey Jones, CSA’s Racial Justice Fellow, for a 1-hour conversation about shifting narratives, the role of power in the struggle for racial justice, and the kinds of interventions we can stage to break the cycle of racism.
