Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Systemic Oppression Workshop

Moderator: Richard Leong, Act to Change

Between COVID-19 and the national uprisings against the murder of innocent Black Americans, it’s a critically important time to recognize how forms of oppression, including racism, operate as systems. This workshop will use the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion to support participants in developing their capacity to be change-makers in their personal and professional lives. Particular attention will be given to equipping participants with the tools to tangibly disrupt systems of oppression in ways that promote health equity and anti-racism at their workplace.
