tells you how it is, calling you out on tokenism, while extending a hand to help your organization make real transformative change toward diversity and inclusion. Coverage includes: What marginalized people experience and what they need to feel safe and comfortable in order to succeed doing the work - How to have deep conversations with your membership about the reality of bias, privilege, and microaggressions ; Practical exercises and discussion questions ; How to choose appropriate meeting locations and establish ground rules, when to bring in outside help, and how to recruit support within your organization ; Strategies on how to talk to friends who are resistant to progressive ideas. This no-nonsense, provocative, humorous, and accessible guide is for all well-meaning people leading progressive organizations who acknowledge the need for diversity but don't know where to start."--From publisher.
