Equity Allies first friday meetup (ICS+CIRES)

A monthly virtual meeting for allies of equity work who want to build relationships and discuss the issues. These meetups are designed for any person who is connected in some way with one of the CU Boulder research institutes and who would like to deepen their learning and practice around racial equity practices to be a better ally.

Though primarily for the 12 RIO Institutes and participants/facilitators of the 2021 Racial Equity Challenge for Institutes, any CU Boulder member and friends are welcome.

Time: First Fridays, September to December & February to May. 2:30 - 3:30pm.

Hosts:
Institute of Cognitive Science (Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Committee)
CIRES (Diversity & Equity team)

>> Signup for Equity allies first fridays <<

The gathering is an informal, minimally structured, unfacilitated open-house time.  We provide a welcoming, inclusive space to create genuine connections, share our lived-experiences of all kinds, and support one another as valued students, staff, researchers, and educators members of the CU Boulder community.

This meeting follows the University of Colorado Boulder campus guidance on affinity groups.

A related but separate meeting will take place at the same time for those who align with Black, Indigenous or other people of color (BIPOC) and friends to connect, create community, and support one another.  See BIPOC Affinity first friday.
