How does telling the truth about and taking action on structural racism and generational oppression connect to sexual and domestic violence prevention? How can communities build multiracial solidarity to transform a culture of violence to a culture of safety and healing? In this web conference, we'll hear from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) leaders who are facilitating truth-telling, healing, and transformation at the intersections of racial and gender justice. They will discuss the importance of addressing the historic and present-day legacies of colonization, genocide, slavery, and other forms of structural racism for safety and equity now and into the future.

Guests:

Arlene Vassell
Vice President of Programs, Prevention & Social Change
National Resource Center on Domestic Violence




Nicole Matthews
Executive Director
Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition




Nina Jusuf
Co-Founder
National Organization of Asians and Pacific Islanders Ending Sexual Violence

Objectives:

  • Describe the connections between taking action on structural racism, decolonization, and preventing sexual and domestic violence
  • Identify how leaders of color are working at the intersection of racial and gender justice
  • Discuss how communities can build multiracial solidarity to support truth-telling, healing and transformation

This webinar is part of the PreventConnect webinar series, in partnership with ValorUS (formerly CALCASA), to advance primary prevention of sexual and relationship violence by building a community of practice among practitioners in government agencies and community organizations.
