California has recently accelerated its vaccine distribution plan. While the vaccine rollout is in full swing, new challenges and inequities have surfaced in its community outreach, engagement, and the vaccine process. How should philanthropy use its collective power to respond to this crisis and provide support to public and community partners? What can we expect in 2021 as communities of color continue to face disproportionate health disparities and economic consequences? We invite you to join this briefing to hear from leading experts on what you and your foundations can do during this critical stage in our history to control the COVID-19 pandemic.

RSVP through Southern California Grantmakers here.

Microaggressions - What are they? What is their connection to colonial and patriarchal hierarchies and present-day systems of oppression? How might we respond to them as people who are targeted? As bystanders? What is the differential and cumulative impact of these daily slights on people with intersecting marginalized identities versus those with dominant identities?  Led by Jamie Morgan of Morgan & Rushton Consulting, this 3-hour interactive conversation will explore these questions and more. Participants will have the opportunity to dig into relevant concepts and frameworks and explore the historical roots of microaggressions and other forms of interpersonal and systemic oppression.  The session will end with small groups unpacking real life case studies in order to brainstorm ideas for interrupting microaggressions and modeling anti-oppressive and justice oriented behaviors.

Space is limited, register here. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the event.
