Town Meeting Members and other interested members of the community are invited to attend this Zoom workshop which will provide important context for the Anti-Racism and Anti-Bias resolution and equity audit proposed to Annual Town Meeting.

Here are the key objectives of the workshop:
- To explain what racialization is and how it can create structural advantages that lead to sustained inequalities even without the presence of racism
- To identify the mechanisms of structural advantage that reproduce racial disparities and shape communities such as Wellesley
- To discuss how a town can address inequity in a way that supports everyone

The speaker is Bird Guess, President of The Racial Equity Group. For more than a decade, Mr. Guess has facilitated racial equity audits and advised organizations on how to make racial equity part of standard operating procedure. The Racial Equity Group has worked with public and private sector clients, including the Town of Brookline, Massachusetts State Health Connector, Texas Instruments, Kenosha County Wisconsin, University of Virginia, Arlington County Virginia, and the Department of Defense.

This event is presented by Bird Guess, President, The Racial Equity Group. Co-sponsored by the Wellesley Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force, Babson College, and the League of Women Voters of Wellesley.
