Faith & Racial Equity: Exploring Power & Privilege

JustFaith

An 8-week program from JustFaith Ministries, that awakens groups to the economic systems, public policies, cultural norms, and hidden biases that empower some and oppress others. The first half of the module introduces a framework for understanding and recognizing racial disparities in power and privilege. Sessions 5-8 take a deeper dive into specific issues related to power and privilege, including affirmative action, the school-to-prison pipeline, the criminal justice system, and powerful biases in media representation. As with all JustFaith programs, participants explore how their faith should inform their response to their learning, as well as discern action steps for working toward racial equity in their own communities. This program is designed for participants who are willing to wrestle with hard questions and take an honest look at their own attitudes, assumptions, and choices. Learn more.
