Together we will examine how dominant ideas can contribute to the suppression and oppression of equity-seeking populations and discuss how communities can challenge these structures. This session will also highlight ways individuals and organizations can contribute to community empowerment, collective action, and transformational change.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn, reflect, and share experiences while building a stronger understanding of systems change and how it connects to community leadership and social justice.
