Over the course of the past two years, ALF has been facilitating two groups of 20 nonprofit leaders who want to engage more deeply on the concepts of diversity, inclusion, equity, and liberation (DIEL) and to explore what those ideas mean personally, organizationally and for the nonprofit sector. With intention, the group spent time personally exploring white supremacy culture and the personal biases they hold. They examined how the culture of white supremacy impacts the work and structure of their organizations and how the sector functions as a whole. The group asked itself: “If the leaders in this sector took this on personally and organizationally, how would we know that there had been a shift in awareness and application?” Answer: An organization has answered for itself: what are we doing that perpetuates white supremacy culture, and what can we do to dismantle racism? The third cohort will of this group will begin in September of 2020. All three of these groups are closed groups.
