Actualizing Equity: Solidarity, Resistance, and Resilience

We are witnessing firsthand the impacts of our political system’s harms to our communities: from unabashedly putting profits over people and environment as programs are eliminated, to forced removal from the US through deportation, all while advancing false narratives about who we are. But we know we can resist the old divide and conquer playbook. We must stay grounded together in the strength of our humanity, our diversity, and our relationships with one another.

At February’s Actualizing Equity event, we will start with breaking bread together and sharing a meal. As we finish our lunches, a circle of leaders from diverse experiences in immigrant rights, environmental justice, and institutional diversity, equity, and inclusion work will open a discussion on the impacts of current policies in their work, their communities, and their own lives. Then we will invite all attendees to step into the circle to share: how has your community been impacted? What does your community need from others in this moment? Join us for this discussion as we weave together threads of solidarity to build a resilient network.

The Alliance invites BIPOC organizers and community members from across the Twin Cities region to come together for this year's Actualizing Equity series of conversations on how we can resist systems of oppression and build resilience through solidarity across communities.
