Our Work Connects When Our Racial Healing Activities:
Contributes to Racial Healing. How does the experience help build trust, deepen relationships, surface truth, support healing, or strengthen our ability to see our shared humanity?
Connects healing and transformation. What might this experience deepen, shift, or make possible beyond this event? How might it connect to ongoing work toward racial equity or systems change?
Centers community voice and leadership. How are community members, particularly those closest to the issue or experience, helping shape this activity?
Is accessible. Participating activities should be free so cost is not a barrier to engagement.
Strengthens the collective. Where can we collaborate, share resources, amplify one another’s work, or build relationships that continue beyond January?
Still exploring how your work might connect, looking for a partner, or needing additional support? We are available for thought partnership and to explore resources such as event space, staffing, and other needs. Feel free to email team@mitransformation.org or set up a time to meet with J. using this scheduling link.

What is Transformation?
Racial healing is at the heart of racial equity. Racial healing is about:
the people work that leads to the transformation of systems;
the telling of hard truths about past wrongs and present consequences;
repairing the harm of racism;
replacing the deeply held system that fuels racism with one that sees the inherent value of all people;
authentic relationship-building across real and perceived differences.
Without racial healing and building trust, changes in policies or practices are short-lived. Through healing and relationship-building, we can collectively develop new values that affect our everyday decisions in areas of policy making, hiring, education and housing – to name just a few.

What is Racial Healing?
Racial healing refers to the process of addressing and repairing the harm caused by racial injustice, discrimination, and systemic oppression.
It involves acknowledging historical and present-day injustices, fostering understanding and empathy across racial divides, and promoting reconciliation, healing, and solidarity among individuals and communities.
Racial healing recognizes the deep-seated trauma and intergenerational impact of racism on individuals, families, and society as a whole, and seeks to create spaces for healing, dialogue, and transformative change.
It encompasses personal, interpersonal, and systemic dimensions, and involves both individual reflection and collective action to address the root causes of racial inequity and promote equity, justice, and belonging for all.
Racial healing is a proactive and ongoing process that requires commitment, compassion, and collaboration from individuals, communities, institutions, and society at large.
