R.I.S.E.
racial and intersectional equity (r.i.s.e.) in the workspace
R.I.S.E. brings to fruition nearly 20 years of experience in creating radical change in communities and workspaces in areas of diversity, race and equity. In this workshop, Converge presents its proprietary R.IS.E. framework and demonstrates how it is vastly superior to the hollow DEI promises of the past. By intentionally redesigning work culture around an intersectional analysis of systemic oppression and racism, organizations can greatly benefit from more robust internal infrastructures in which ALL employees can thrive and grow.
key definitions
racial
A social construct that artificially divides people into distinct groups based on characteristics such as physical appearance (particularly color), ancestral heritage, cultural affiliation, cultural history, ethnic classification, and the social, economic and political needs of a society at a given period of time. Racial categories subsume ethnic groups.
.
intersectional
Recognizes the interactive impacts of various forms of systemic oppression. It examines how racism interacts with patriarchy, heterosexism, classism, xenophobia — and how our multiple identities can help clarify the ways in which a person can simultaneously experience privilege and oppression.
equity
Intentional strategy to ensure the communities most affected by systemic oppression get increased access to opportunities, networks, supports and resources to address that oppression.
R.i.s.e.
Given the entrenched nature of colonialism and white supremacy in America, equity must first focus on race and ethnicity as the primary drivers of lived experience, life outcomes and ultimately disparities.
online training
Are you committed to dismantling racism within your company or organization, but are unsure where to start?
During this live Zoom training we will review the institutionalization of white supremacy within the US and identify how white supremacy culture appears within our organizations. We will also introduce you to Converge’s Racial & InterSectional Equity (R.I.S.E.)© approach that seeks to explicitly root out racism and replace white supremacy structures with equitable approaches.
Join us for this critical workshop in order to eliminate systemic oppression and continue to build your anti-racist toolkit.
