SUMMARY:POSTPONED Due to COVID - National Virtual Tour - New York\, New York
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, the world was hit with a pandemic that triggered social\, economic\, and political unrest throughout the world. The global pandemic forced everyone to reconsider how we interface and communicate\, especially when sharing personal space was no longer an option. Like most of the world\, RACE TALKS pivoted to a virtual platform. For the past 11 years\, we challenged Portlanders to consider how to make the world a better place by getting to know your neighbors and becoming more aware of individual privilege\, all while exploring how race and racism play a role in our daily lives and interactions. \nAs we enter 2022\, social unrest still smolders as systems of white supremacy are slowly torn apart\, especially within the criminal justice and educational environments. On this virtual tour\, RACE TALKS will visit cities across the United States; and highlight practitioners in the fields of academia\, business\, government\, and law. \nWe will seek to understand how these cities are working to address matters of race and racism in their respective communities. Join RACE TALKS on Thursday\, May 19\, 2022\, as we hope to answer the question: How are issues of race and racism being addressed in New York\, New York? \n*This event will take place in Eastern Standard Time*

SUMMARY:RACE TALKS April Forum
DESCRIPTION:Derek Chauvin’s guilty verdict provided our nation and community some relief as we approach the first anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. Like the rest of the country\, Portland was shaken by Floyd’s killing\, and it prompted our city to reexamine policing and systemic racism. In the spirit of collective healing\, RACE TALKS invites you to join us for a special edition forum on Thursday\, April 29\, 6-8:30 p.m.\, where we continue to explore the P’s & Q’s of 2021. \nCommunity leaders with widely varying perspectives will discuss topics of lawful gatherings\, protest and policing\, and quarantine. After the panel discussion\, participants will be invited to either join the Community Feedback Breakout Rooms or a moderated Q&A. Anyone who attended the panel may stay for the moderated Q&A. The Community Feedback Breakout Rooms will be available to 150 participants only (registration will be first-come\, first-served) and will allow the opportunity to provide invaluable feedback to city leaders. Join us in open dialogue to discuss how the year affected us all\, and what we can do to move forward together in healing and conciliation.

SUMMARY:RACE TALKS March Forum
DESCRIPTION:In 2018\, RACE TALKS hosted\, “Overturning Marijuana Convictions: Equitizing Marijuana Convictions for the Poor and People of Color.” This month\, we discuss the new “Green Rush\,” and explore the disproportional access that BIPOC have to the cannabis industry\, especially Black people who remain incarcerated. The legalization of cannabis in 30+ states\, and the impending federal legalization have given way to innovative and lucrative business opportunities derived wholly from cannabis. At the forefront of this new wealth creation are CIS white men\, so we shift the focus for Women’s History Month to four Black women who are boldly pioneering their own path to level the cannabis playing field.

SUMMARY:RACE TALKS February Forum
DESCRIPTION:As a group\, LGBTQIP2SAA+\, Lesbian\, Gay\, Bisexual\, Transgender\, Questioning\, Queer\, Intersex\, Pansexual\, Two-Spirit (2S)\, Androgynous and Asexual+\, AKA the Rainbow Community\, have traditionally been the least understood kinship in the US. However\, their activism has led to changes that we are continuing to see with this newly elected administration. The 2020 Presidential debates\, November elections\, and 2021 installation of the President’s Cabinet bear witness to the decades of activism of the Rainbow Community. \nIn 2018\, RACE TALKS hosted “CROSSING OVER: Transgender People of Color” where our speakers shared their transition journey. Today\, we are re-visited by our former speakers who will share how the Rainbow Community’s activism has evolved; and how they\, as BIPOC\, Black\, Indigenous\, People of Color\, are leading that (r)evolution.
