Fomentar la equidad en el lugar de trabajo

Rashida Willard (Clark College-Office of DEI) & Dr. Obie Ford III ((WSU-Vancouver)

 

This session includes an overview of oppression on the internal, interpersonal, institutional and structural level. Participants lean into how these levels of oppression impacts employees, and how models of equity can be applied to advance equity in their workplace. You will be provided indicators, resources, and strategies to authentically advocate, advance, and actualize equity-mindedness across policies, processes, practices, and people in the workplace. 

Facilitators ground the space such that each participant feels a sense of bravery to share their lived experiences and empowerment to activate their advocacy for equity-mindedness in the workplace and community at large. Through the use of slides, critical questions and prompts, and breakout rooms, participants engage not only the material, but also one another through intergroup dialogue and intercultural exchange.

Soluciones comunitarias para la vigilancia

Nickeia Hunter (NAACP Vancouver), Ibsahu Ma’akmaha  & Brandon Lee (Training 4 Transformation)

Bringing the history of our communities to the front and providing the voices of those injured by the laws and those who enforce it. A background as to the history of police violence within our BIPOC communities and the systemic racism buried in the laws and those meant to protect and enforce the law was given.

Exponiendo las voces de nuestra comunidad que se vieron afectadas por los estereotipos y el racismo indebido en nuestra comunidad, le damos una cara a una historia, para crear empatía y una personalidad visual en estas historias. Al hacerlo, finalmente pueden oírse las experiencias vividas de nuestra comunidad y el objetivo es educar a otros e impulsar la narrativa para permitir el crecimiento y la redención en nuestras comunidades.

The COVID-19 pandemic has unequally affected many racial and ethnic minority groups. During this session, panelist will discuss their observations about this pandemic in the Southwest Washington. They will share current data about the inequities in testing, vaccinations, hospitalizations and deaths based on diversity demographics as well as their experiences for providing care for these diverse communities.

Panelists will explore the factors impacting health equity such as discrimination, healthcare access and use, housing, occupation, education, income and wealth gaps. Previous mistreatment and other experiences of racism lead to chronic stress that has negative physical and behavioral health outcomes. Across the country, local and state leaders are declaring racism a public health crisis or emergency. These declarations are an important first step in the movement to advance racial equity and justice and must be followed by allocation of resources and strategic action. During this session, panelist will discuss what strategic action would bring positive outcomes in our region.
