Alisal traning on racial equity and structural racism

An intriguing workshop is coming to Alisal, courtesy of Building Healthy Communities.

Provided by the Applied Research Center, the workshop called "Racial equity through media, research and activism" will teach participants how "race framing directly impacts and shapes policy imperatives for our communities and to critique racists frames in our media and how to apply racial justice and reframing."

Media portrayal of underserved groups is long been a complaint, so it'll be interesting to see what strategies are proposed to create change. I may have to drop by one of the sessions:

For youth: from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25 (in English)
For parents: from 5:30 to 8 pm. Feb. 22 and March 7.

At the Martin Luther King Academy multipurpose room, 925 N Sanborn Rd, Salinas. For more information, call 758-2501 or email elizabeth@scyp.org.
