SUMMARY:Understanding the Identity of the Latino: Fighting Bias
DESCRIPTION:Register HERE  \nThe aim of this workshop is to help participants understand the diversity of Latin people that are present in the United States Workforce.  \nFighting stereotypes that plague minority groups is a key aspect to improving diversity at any workplace. The threat of being stereotyped has been shown to not only have an effect on minorities by the way they engage at work\, but by having an influence in their leadership\, entrepreneurship\, and competitiveness. A way to fight these detrimental stereotypes that lead to some of the conscious and unconscious biases we may have against minority members we work with is by furthering our understanding of their culture and identity. The aim of this workshop is to help participants understand the diversity of Latin people that is present in the United States and that we may work with. By learning about the diversity of their identity and the diversity present in this multi-racial community\, we can help destroy the typical and detrimental stereotypes that currently exist of Latin Americans in our society.

SUMMARY:“Let’s talk race and racism” podcast/discussion
DESCRIPTION:The Committee on Minority Affairs (CMA) launches its podcast/discussion series “Let’s Talk Race and Racism”\, engaging members and the broader St. Louis community in fostering togetherness\, developing shared language\, and building comfort and courage to better discuss race and racism.  \nHoping to help people understand how to take personal action to build their own race consciousness and to move toward a more diverse and inclusive Local Section in response to many national conversations such as #BlackoutSTEM and in response to the cries for justice for the loss of unarmed Black lives. \nWe ask all members and the community to come prepared to listen\, learn\, engage\, be uncomfortable and possibly abandon their own ideas for new ones as they hear vulnerable conversation from primarily people of color. Register here for one\, several\, or all of the events in this series. You will receive a Zoom invite for the events you select. \nToday\, Part 5: \nThe topic and organization today has been changed to address last week’s incident at the US Capitol.  \nTopic: Reflections on America’s Disparate Responses to RiotDescription: January 6\, 2021\, Americans witnessed a planned targeted attack on our US Capitol in an act that many are calling an insurrection and attempt to overrun the government and circumvent the will of the America people as members of Congress certified the November 3rd election results. As the images exploded from Washington it was hard not to notice the stark difference in police and military presence before\, during and after the Capitol attacks in comparison to Black Lives Matter and other protests organized by people of color. So let’s talk.
