STEP THREE:

Reimagine your programming: how you reach out, consider who comes, and what they see. 

3A. Identify past organizational assumptions and behaviors that reflected biases or exclusionary practices in your programming, and make commitments to disrupt those practices.

3B. Actively engage your community in a meaningful conversation about systemic racism, white supremacy, and what anti-racism work means.        

3C. Ask your community how you are doing. Listen to them and find ways to hold your organization accountable to them. Make small commitments and follow through on them.

3D. Seek out Black voices to lift up in your work, and create pathways for engagement and mentorship that benefit black artists, scholars, leaders, and partners.
