The Antiracist Community of Action (ACA)

The Antiracist Community of Action (ACA) is a collaborative, judgment-free environment where interested parties can come together with a common purpose to develop awareness, gain knowledge, and build confidence through guided practice and discovery. The ACA operates with a shared and inclusive facilitation structure, so no one person is considered the “leader.” The non-hierarchical structure increases psychological safety, welcomes diverse ADEI topics of interest, and allows for constructive feedback and perspective that helps to build capacity while offering pragmatic application of ADEI principles and strategies.

TRY USING AN ADEI TIP OF THE MONTH...

The illusion of inclusion. When we try to create space and opportunity for diverse ideas and perspective sharing, we can still fall into a routine of asking the same people within our social circle to participate. Just because we look outside of ourselves to gain insight does not mean we fully embrace the essence of inclusion. Engaging with the same select group of people can maintain the status quo and not welcome diversity of thought. The next time you need assistance with a project or task, ask yourself, who outside of your social comfort zone are you willing to involve to achieve an all-inclusive outcome?

ADEI in Action!

A small, diverse group was convened a couple of weeks ago to aid with the thoughtful reconstruction of our discrimination policy. This is an example of operationalizing one of the themes found within our institutional strategic plan that focuses on designing infrastructure. This theme centers on equitable policy, procedure, and practice development to ensure that the resources and documents that administer our actions are current, accessible, and infused with ADEI principles.
