Acknowledge and repair racial harm
Reckon With engages individuals to acknowledge and repair racial injustice in themselves, their families, and institutions they’re part of — every day.
Many people are motivated, but stuck.
Many of us are learning, protesting, donating, and organizing politically. But when we finish the book or workshop, we’re overwhelmed.
What do we do?
Reckon With’s Invitation:
Reckon With invites people to uncover and take action every day where we have the most influence: with our relatives, neighbors, and colleagues.
Engaging the people and institutions in our lives is intimidating.
That’s why Reckon With provides…
-
Reckon With is about applying what we’ve learned in the abstract to our own lives as they unfold every day. Where are we needed most? How do we do respond to injustice effectively and sustainably? Reckon With provides the unique support and resources that each participant requires.
-
Reckon With’s secure tech platform lays out a plan for each meeting, providing bite-sized steps that your group works through at your own pace.
-
Each participant is part of a group of 3 people that meets weekly or bi-weekly. Twice a year, all groups gather to reflect, learn and celebrate together.
-
Participants learn 4 Core Competencies that are needed to effectively respond to racial harm in real time: history, embodiment, calling in, and root culture. Like artists and athletes, we get stronger over time through consistent practice.
-
Every quarter, an expert coach joins the group meeting so participants can ask questions, get personalized feedback, and improve. You’ll also have access to hyper-relevant and well-researched learning resources throughout the program.
Reckon With takes the fight against racial injustice from…
abstract to
actionable
•
daunting to
doable
•
solo to
supported
What we’re not:
A facilitated workshop
A place to regurgitate what we think we are supposed to say
A book club
Focused on action outside of our personal control
