We Care About The Entire Community
As the Community Action Network aims to effectively eradicate the causes and conditions of poverty, we understand that racial inequity rests at the intersection of multiple barriers that impede access to economic security for children, families and communities. The Partnership is pleased to offer new tools and resources to strengthen the Network's capacity to analyze the intersection of race and poverty in the lives of the entire community.
The Partnership released "A Renewed Commitment to Making America A Better Place," a response to the violence plaguing many of our communities. Please share your responses and stories with us by way of Learning Community Project Director, Tiffney Marley, CCAP, at tmarley@communityactionpartnership.com.
Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation
The Partnership recently joined a coalition of more than 100 organizations to partner on a Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation (TRHT) enterprise supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Launched in January 2016, the TRHT enterprise will empower communities to embrace racial healing and uproot conscious and unconscious beliefs in the hierarchy of human value.
The coalition seeks to move the nation beyond dialogues about race and ethnicity to unearthing historic and contemporary patterns that are barriers to success, healing those wounds and creating opportunities for all children. Click here to access the full coalition announcement.
The TRHT enterprise is led by Dr. Gail C. Christopher, TRHT Vice President and Senior Advisor to the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Dr. Christopher was the keynote speaker at the Partnership's Annual Convention and the following presentation summarizes her message to the Community Action Network:
