For the 2019-20 school year, our second BARWE Inquiry Series will build on last year’s series.  We will continue to email a monthly article or video, discussion questions, and a protocol focusing on building anti-racist educators, schools, and communities. Over the first year of our Inquiry Series, we received a fair amount of feedback with folks asking for more focus on action steps. And yes - anti-racist action is essential and pressing. Racism is literally killing BIPOC folks. First, we would like to emphasize that engaging in these discussions for developing your own anti-racist understanding and identity, finding ways to bring more people into the conversation, and developing authentic relationships with other anti-racist people is critical work towards building a foundation for meaningful action. Therefore, by continuing to dig deeper with our inquiry series and connect these resources with others, you are taking action. This year, we will encourage you to take additional action steps on the individual, classroom, school, district, or community level, and we believe that the stronger your foundation and network of support is, the more impactful your action will be.
