About Crossroads

https://crossroadsantiracism.org/chicago/

Crossroad’s mission is to assist institutions in understanding, analyzing, and strategizing how to dismantle racism. We offer tools to identify and transform institutional values, policies and practices that reinforce the drive to dominate and control, which uphold racism. Our strategies focus on fostering just and inclusive institutions.  

Crossroads Arrival & Attendance Policy

• Arrive on time – You must join before we complete the Community Agreements Process (usually within the first 30-45 minutes). Late arrivals cannot be admitted to protect the group's confidentiality.

• Stay for the full workshop – We ask all participants to attend from beginning to end. Moving in and out of the workshop isn't permitted, as it disrupts the shared experience.

This training will NOT be recorded and is open only to pre-registered Disability Lead Members.
