Race Equity Series
Our Race Equity Series equips your team with the knowledge, language, and tools to confront systemic racism and build lasting organizational change.
The Race Equity series is our most intensive training package and includes a total of four trainings: Signature Allyship, White Supremacy 101, Bias & Microaggressions, and Building Equity.
This series provides a deep understanding of our Allyship principles and locates anti-Blackness and white supremacy in both current and historical contexts. Leveraging this background, the series culminates with the Building Equity sessions which provide an opportunity for organizations to brainstorm how to apply their learnings to their work.

Testimonials
“The training provided tools to understand white supremacy culture, identify privilege and bias, and methods to center racial equity in every aspect of my work and life. It gave me practical strategies I can put into action immediately and a framework I’ll carry forward long-term.”
“As a Black woman, I had to acknowledge my own biases and behavior. SNS did a great job of arming me with the language and tools to address them with compassion. This training created a space where I felt both challenged and supported, and it reminded me that growth is possible for everyone when equity is centered.”
