Identifying and Addressing Barriers to Racial Economic Equity: A Virtual Workshop

Racial Economic Equity is an important topic that the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau (CFPB) and agencies all around the country are beginning to address. During this 90-minute session, you and your colleagues will be led through a process to work together to identify barriers, and brainstorm possible solutions to racial economic equity within the services you provide. Every organization will have the opportunity to generate ideas for action steps that can help find ways to increase equity. Promoting racial economic equity within your organization requires thoughtful, sustained work following the workshop. This session will begin this work and help establish a plan for long-term change.
