Advanced Equity
This course utilizes the content knowledge of Foundations to address participants discussing their equity work, its challenges, and opportunities. Intersectionality will also be discussed in a greater degree than in Foundations.
At the end of this training, you will walk away with:
An understanding of the root causes of racial inequity and government’s complicity in its creation and maintenance.
An ability to identify inequities and apply strategies to reduce/eliminate disparities across all identities.
An introduction into the basic science behind implicit bias.
An understanding of what approaches are effective for reducing personal and institutional bias. In addition to the in-depth content we cover in the training, you’ll notice a list of important definitions and resources in the front and back of this guide.

Lesson 5: Mitigating for Microaggressions
We know microaggressions come from our implicit or unconscious biases. We know they areboth verbal and nonverbal - so what do we do about them?
If you’re working on mitigating your OWN microaggressions, recall from the Foundations training to - “Have the second thought.” Stop and think about why you are saying or doing something
