  • 7:15 – 8:15am
     Panel 1 — Roadmaps: charting paths to organizational accountability:

    Every organization has unique needs and values shaping its path to accountability. As the racial equity field grows, there is an expanding range of resources to inform the process of antiracist change.
  • 8:30 – 9:30am
    Panel 2 — (Re)writing the rulebook: reporting and regulating for organizational accountability:

     Analysis, metrics, and reporting are fundamental tools for organizations to build — and to sustain — antiracist change. This panel will examine how these tools are advancing within the private sector today and explore the impact of government insight on transparency and accountability.
  • 9:30 – 10:00 am
    Art intervention

     This session will invite you into the practice of artist and community facilitator Jessica Valoris. Her performance will weave together doodling, performance and collective reflection, creating a visual work live at the conference. With this intervention, the aim is to reach beyond the strategic components of racial justice work — and connect with the emotional and philosophical aspects of that work.
  • 10:15 – 11:00 EST
    Lunch keynote by Christine Cordero

     As Co-Director of Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN), Christine Cordero has years of experience organizing with immigrants and refugees for a healthy environment and thriving economy. Her keynote talk will explore the strategic connections between stewarding a just transition from our fossil fuel infrastructure and building resilience in Asian, Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and other communities of color on the frontlines. Based on her 20+ years of organizing, Christine will share insights into strategies for disrupting racial capitalism and fighting for climate and racial justice.
