Materialsneeded:  Flipchart  Markers Part 1: Principles for incorporating a racial equity lens into our work (30 minutes) A. Welcome everyone andlet participants know thattoday’smeetingwill helpthe groupthinkabout racial equityas theystart workingontheiractionideas. B. Break up participantsinto groupsof 3-4 people. Askforavolunteertoreadthese principlesfor workingtogethertowardactioninan equitable,inclusive way:  Involve everyoneinameaningful way.Demonstrate thatthe whole communityiswelcome and needed.  Embrace diversity.Reachoutto all kindsof people.  Share knowledge,resources,power,anddecision-making.  Connectactionto social,political,andpolicychange toaddressstructural racismand create more equitable communities. C. Ask the small groups to discuss these two questions (15 minutes):  If we don’t follow the principles then how moving to action could be impacted?
  2. 2.  If we successfully follow the principles then how will moving to action be impacted? D. Bring the group back together and chart their responses to the discussion questions. Make note of common themes and ideas. (15 minutes) Part 2: Equity scenarios (50 minutes) A. Write the following scenarios on flip charts, one per sheet of paper (it helps to prepare write these scenarios beforehand). Post the scenarios around the room:  White people are oftenrecruitedtoleadactiongroups.While people of colormaybe invitedto participate,theyare more “forshow.”Oldhabitsand behaviorscontinue,andwhite peoplestay inthe lead.  As people formnewpartnershipstoaddressproblemsinthe community,theyhesitate to include peoplefromdifferentracial groups.  People whoare mostaffectedbynew policiesare shutout.Theyhave no voice inthe policy making.  While planningaction,the planningsessionsare heldattimesandinplacesthat don’tfitthe schedulesof lowerincomeresidents.  One of the organizational partnersthathelpswithactionhasapredominatelywhitestaff. Neighborhoodminorityleadersare notinvolved inthe leadership. B. Ask everyone to break up in small groups of 3-4 people. Encourage people to work with people they didn’t work with during the previous exercise. C. Ask each small group to take turns visiting each flip chart and talking about each of the scenarios. Give them 5 minutes per scenario to brainstorm and write down ideas on a separate flip chart or piece of paper of how they might address the scenario. Here are some questions to help people get started:  Which principles for working together toward action are not being honored? Why?  What could have helped the group avoid the situation and to honor the principles? After each 5 minute brainstorm, rotate the groups. At the next easel, the group reads and discusses the ideas left behind by the previous group then adds new ideas.
  3. 3. It shouldtake about30 minutesforgroupsto move throughall of the scenarios. D. Once every group has worked on each scenario, invite the groups to spend some time reading all of the ideas on the flip charts. (10 minutes) E. Wrap up the exercise with a general debrief for the large group (10 minutes):  What ideas seemed particularly interesting to you?  Do you have any ideas to add that you have not yet recorded?  How can you keep these ideas alive while working on the projects and the actions? Part 3: Working equitably as a team (40 minutes) In a large group,discussthe followingquestionstohelpyouthinkabouthow youall are working togetherasa team.These questionswillhelpyouthinkaboutmakingsure that the teamisinclusive and welcomingtoall people andthatthe whole teammodelsworkingwitharacial equitylens.
