Recently, CBN has had more people in our network ask us about Anti-Bias, Anti-Racism (ABAR) training opportunities.
CBN is interested in collectively promoting these opportunities as a network and sharing those that local community development leaders have found most meaningful.
We aren’t experts on ABAR trainings, but we can share an incomplete list of what we do know. Below is a growing list of opportunities we pulled together internally that you can explore:
Crossroads Antiracism Training: The CBN staff team went through one of Crossroads' 2.5-day trainings in 2019 and thought it was excellent. They're currently offering their workshops virtually via Zoom. Click here for a list of upcoming workshops and registration.
Forward Through Ferguson: FTF started offering several different workshops on racial equity capacity building last year. One of our staff members participated in the half-day Systems Change Primer in May 2020 and found it meaningful.
Move to End Violence: An antiracism trainer we recently connected with shared the Racial Equity and Liberation Virtual Learning Series. (We have this on our watch list, but haven’t gone through it yet.)
Better Allies: Not a training, but the 5 Ally Actions Newsletter is a great weekly email that a CBN member shared with us in our network’s Racial Equity Workgroup. It comes out every Friday and usually has some great food for thought. Plus, it's super digestible and actionable.
Racial Equity tag on our Community Calendar: We've been posting events and trainings focused on advancing racial equity under the Racial Equity tag on our website's Community Calendar, so that’s something you can watch in the future.
Asian Americans Advancing Justice: Bystander intervention trainings and resources when witnessing race-based harassment.
These are just a few places to start, since there are so many great resources available, especially online.
Let us know about other opportunities so we can grow this list of resources and promote them on the CBN Community Calendar!
