The Racial Justice Leadership Institute is a seminar for social justice activists who wish to sharpen their skills and strategies to address structural racism and advance racial equity.

The Institute engages people in critical analysis of current race issues and opportunities to promote equitable public policies. Unlike “diversity trainings” which focus on interpersonal relations and cultural understanding, the Institute emphasizes institutional inequality––how it disadvantages, disenfranchises and divides many communities and how it can be effectively challenged and changed.

A broad-based skilled cadre of racial justice activists and public intellectuals is needed to document, expose and challenge structural racism.

The Racial Justice Leadership Institute will help key actors shape public opinion and policy on critical race issues.

Highlights from the Racial Justice Leadership Institute:

• Understanding structural racism and “racial justice”
  
  
• Documenting racial impact disparities and discrimination
  
  
• Strategically challenging racial inequality
  
  
• Creating equity-based policy proposals
  
  
• Shaping public debate by exposing and explaining racism
