A New Vocabulary for a New Paradigm: Race, Gender, Language, Inclusion, Identity and More

The concepts and work to achieve equity, racial justice, diversity, language access, immigration reform, and inclusion are distinct and yet connected. This workshop will give texture to the language we need to create a new paradigm for meaningful impact, diversity, and inclusion. Can we build a language and practice of anti-oppression and inclusion that connects our various struggles while valuing the unique characteristics of each struggle? What are the linkages across diversity, inclusion, and equity?  Is the language we use really that important? This session will explore how advocates for a broad range of civil rights, human rights, and access to justice develop deeper common cause and common language.
