The Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance has been striving to conduct its work from a racial justice lens for more than 15 years, and has been evolving its practices as it learns. Action Alliance staff member Kate McCord will describe the catalyst for this work and offer specific examples of how the Action Alliance's racial justice lens is reflected in its internal policies and external practices. Kate will share specific examples of how values of racial equity and inclusion are reflected in Action Alliance's internal policies, such as through personnel policies, staff development and governance and decision-making. Kate will also describe the Action Alliance's outward-facing work to name and dismantle systemic racial oppression and white supremacy via its communications, policy, technical assistance, training, prevention, and awareness, and will highlight lessons learned from the process.
