FRANK TALKS: Nice is Not Enough: Understanding Systemic Oppression

Event Type: All Ages
Age Group(s): Family - All Ages
Date: 4/14/2021
Start Time: 11:00 AM
End Time: 12:00 PM
Description:
 Current events across the nation are challenging us to take a hard look at how some groups of people are being treated differently from others on a daily basis. Why does this happen? What systems intentionally or implicitly benefit some people at the expense of others? How does systemic oppression impact certain groups at work, at school, and in the community? As the beneficiaries of these systemic decisions, policies or laws, we are often not even aware of the impact on us, or the harm to others. This program provides an opportunity to explore how systems impact people differently, and the steps we can take personally to eliminate unfair treatment and harm to others. Registration is required.
