Explore the role of compassion in racial justice work

Join us for a one hour FREE event focused on discussing the overlap of compassion and racial equity. Racial equity is defined as when people of all races and ethnicities are treated in an egalitarian manner. How can creating a more compassionate world lead to increased racial equity? What is the difference between racial equity and racial equality? How can you have compassion for people with different ideologies than you?

This one hour session will explore these questions and more, while focusing on the role of compassion in racial equity work.

This conversation will be led by Compassion Institute Founder Thupten Jinpa, PhD and Compassion Institute Senior Teacher Lakiba Pittman, MA.
