Check out a recording of our “Understanding Inequitable Systems as Violence” online workshop. This workshop, originally presented for John Hancock, fosters a better understanding of U.S. history and how inequitable systems perpetuate collective violence against Black and brown communities. The presentation ends with actionable strategies for organizations looking to make positive changes.
