This Tuesday: Diving back into social and racial justice for California animal shelters
You are invited to join our two-part discussion session happening this Tuesday, July 14th.
The sheltermedicine.com newsletter: your portal to better sheltering.
Save the Date: DEI and your shelter.
Two-part DEI discussion sessions this Tuesday (7/14) and next Tuesday (7/21).
Hi All,
We just got off the phone from the group planning session for our upcoming CASCAR calls and we’re really looking forward to our time together on Tuesday! Jose Ocano and Jyothi Robertson will be joining us again for a two-parter this Tuesday, July 14th, and the following Tuesday, July 21st, to dive deeper into applying a racial and social justice lens both within our organizations and to the work that we do.
We will move through definitions and establishing cultural foundations into practical tactics with plenty of room for discussion. As always, our hope is to create a respectful and friendly context for exploration and sharing of questions, ideas and experiences.
Just shedding lots and lots of light on this discussion and refusing to let it fade into the background as other pressing issues emerge (and surge☹️), is really helpful. At least, that’s our sincere hope.
Check the CA shelters page for links to this and previous CASCAR calls.
We would love for this to be inclusive of interested staff at every level so please feel free to share with your team. Coming up, we can discuss changing the time of these calls to better accommodate schedules now that more people are back to work onsite, We realize 10am isn’t the easiest for kennel staff.
As always, if you have questions or suggestions for this discussion or future CASCAR topics, email us at CASCAR@sheltermedicine.com <mailto:CASCAR@sheltermedicine.com>.
Remember, if you volunteer to lead a section of a call, you get a CASCAR mug of your own!
