Guides & Workshops

The mission of Erase Racism New York is to expose forms of racial discrimination and advocate for laws and policies that help eliminate racial disparities, particularly in the areas of housing, community development, public education and health. Its vision is transformed, integrated communities in which no person’s access to opportunity is limited by race or ethnicity. ERASE Racism’s major workshop/training is Unraveling Racism Training (URT), which is designed to raise awareness about institutional and structural racism and inspire personal action for greater equity. It is done in two sessions:

• URT I—Core workshop analyzes linkages between structural racism and other forms of oppression and begins to unravel issues of white privilege and internalized racism. It is a pre-requisite for URT II.
• URT II—Applied Skills workshop offers skill building practices and small group intensives that prepare work groups to effect change in their businesses and communities.
