Interrupting Racism Level 1

Human In Common is excited to partner with the Greater Northampton Chamber of Commerce to provide our Interrupting Racism Level 1 training. This training is a prerequisite to attend Interrupting Racism Levels 2-4. This two-day training will be held via Zoom on the following dates. Participants are required to attend both sessions.

• Tuesday, May 3rd; 9 am – 12 pm EST
• Thursday, May 5th; 9 am – 12 pm EST

• Data on the material impact of racism today
• Stereotypes, prejudice & bias
• White privilege: using it for good
