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

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:Addressing Summer Hunger through Summer EBT
DESCRIPTION:When schools close for the summer\, nearly 30 million children that rely daily on USDA’s school breakfast and lunch programs lose access to these nutritious meals. Thanks to bipartisan action by Congress\, States have two powerful new tools to fight summer hunger. The 2023 Omnibus\, signed into law late last year\, established a permanent Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (Summer EBT) program\, which will provide benefit dollars to eligible low-income families with children to purchase groceries during the summer months. Additionally\, the law included a provision permitting non-congregate feeding options for summer meal programs in certain rural areas. \nWith both programs set to be fully operational in 2024\, there are several steps states can take now to prepare for effective implementation. Please join The Education Trust and the Food Research & Action Center (FRAC) on Wednesday\, September 6\, from 12-1 pm ET\, for a briefing with Food and Nutrition Service staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture on implementation and next steps. Wednesday’s conversation with Agency staff is an opportunity to learn more about the steps FNS has taken to-date to prepare for successful implementation\, and what actions partners can take to support. \nRegister
