The goals of our Segal Program Racial Justice & Antiracism Learning Community are:
- To continue to expand Segal Fellows’ and The Segal Program’s knowledge about, capacity for, and commitment to racial justice and antiracism work.
- To provide tools participants can use to continue to implement antiracist work in their own lives.
- To begin to envision action steps and accountability points for how this work can be done together across the Segal Network.
