1 min read
The St. Louis Racial Equity Summit 2023, a gathering of advocates for equity, will take place on November 9–11. The Summit will return to an in-person format at the America’s Center with the option to attend virtually. Hundreds of participants are expected to engage in sessions designed to elevate, collaborate, and activate the people, practices, and resources necessary to achieve Racial Equity. The 2023 theme is, “Together We Rise: The Power of Community”. The summit has three purposes:
- Awareness of Inequity: To engage participants in building their awareness of systemic inequities that exist in the regions– from education to housing to healthcare and beyond.
- Understanding of Why Inequity Exists: To help participants to gain an understanding of the systemic issues at hand and build a plan for how to address them, perhaps looking at successful tactics in St. Louis or other regions.
- Transforming Towards Equity: To share ready-made + pressure-tested strategies for taking action. We will look to the leadership of local leaders of color to share actions that can be taken against structural inequities right now.
