We are very interested in hearing how to begin this conversation with staff and volunteers.

I'd love to learn how to better engage with communities of color, specifically how to encourage participation and making our resources and opportunities available.

I am a board member for the Mass Central Rail Trail - Wachusett Greenways. This is my work email - Christopher.ryan@becker.edu

If people are interested in learning more about intersectionality, check out the scholarship of Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and bell hooks!

Thank you very much!

I have concerns about the voyeuristic nature of listening sessions as well

what is the best way to find these experts?

could you speak to what makes a good anti racism statement from a nonprofit? good and bad you’ve seen? next steps?

Thanks so much Nichole and ONE Worcester!
