SUMMARY:TIRRC Transformative Conversations: How to effectively engage with others on issues of immigration
DESCRIPTION:This training will seek to equip community leaders to better engage with others on topics of immigration. \nTransformative Conversations will present on TIRRC’s findings from a cutting edge public opinion and messaging study conducted in 2018\, that utilized deep canvassing to identify what moves conflicted individuals towards favorable and supportive views of immigration.  In collaboration with UCLA and Berkley\, we surveyed voters to measure the effects deep canvassing has on both people’s opinion on immigration policy and implicit bias.  The results showed overwhelmingly that deep canvassing not only moves voters at their door towards more supportive views of immigrants\, but also that this movement is lasting. \nEven if you’re not canvassing door to door\, you can learn to be a deep canvasser in your own life and everyday interactions.  Join us to learn how to better navigate difficult conversations with others in a more productive and effective manner. \nThere are two upcoming opportunities to join: December 7 @ 6 PM CST and December 8 @ 12 PM CST. \nIf you are unable to attend this date\, but are interested in future trainings\, please reach out to deepcanvassing@tnimmigrant.org directly. \nRegister

SUMMARY:Understanding Tennessee’s Education Budget with The Sycamore Institute

SUMMARY:Stand Against Injustice - Is DEI Dead?
DESCRIPTION:After a video of George Floyd’s murder by a police officer in Summer 2020 went viral\, spontaneous protests spread across the globe. The protests brought attention to the urgent need to address systemic racism. Organizations across industries announced significant investments in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) staff and anti-racism efforts. Nearly four years later\, a wave of local legislation and political activism has targeted Civil Rights legislation\, equity policies like affirmative action\, and DEI industry leaders. \nData shows that the DEI industry has been battered by mass layoffs and shuttered programs\, suggesting that backlash has caused organizations’ commitment to DEI efforts to waver. Join YWCA Nashville & Middle Tennessee on February 28th 2023 as we gather community and industry leaders together to discuss the current state of anti-racism in America and whether DEI can survive. \nRegister
