NLIHC’s Virtual Housing Policy Forum 2022: Achieving Housing Justice – taking place March 22-23 – will feature a variety of interactive sessions with NLIHC experts, including one on Anti-Racism, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. During this session, led by NLIHC Senior Vice President for Racial Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Renee Willis, participants will have a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes with NLIHC and our partners to see how we are centering inclusion, diversity, equity, anti-racism, and systems thinking (“IDEAS”) in our work. Attendees will also be introduced to the Rise-Home Stories Project, a group of multimedia storytellers and housing, land, and racial justice advocates who came together to reimagine the future of our communities. The session will explore how the Rise-Home Stories Project used IDEAS to create a body of work made by and for Black and Brown organizers, artists, and audiences. Register today to attend the Forum here.
