The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged us to adapt swiftly to enormous shifts in priorities and uncertainties in our work and community. As our operations move online, how can we commit to adapting in ways that are anti-oppressive, inclusive, and values-driven? As the addition of technology risks amplifying existing inequities, it is crucial that we think intentionally about how to center equity and justice in their adaptations. Join EPIP and Joanna Gattuso, MPH to consider how we might create antidotes to replicating white supremacy culture remotely. Together we will support emerging practitioners in building practices that can help us navigate through and beyond this crisis moment to create inclusive and accessible workplaces for all.
