Minnesota Collaborative Anti-Racism Initiative fosters participation in ongoing racial reconciliation among diverse communities by engaging Minnesota institutions in anti-racism education, training and organizing to strengthen the capacity to recognize and respond to systemic racism.
A strategy of organizing is at the center of the MCARI efforts. Experience indicates that racism cannot be “trained” away. What is required is a process that organizes systemic
and institutional transformation. Key to this is a trained institutional team that has
developed an analysis of racism that is relevant to community and systemic transformation. This, in turn, shapes a strategic change process that involves the entire institution in the journey of transformation.
The Minnesota Collaborative Anti-Racism Initiative (MCARI) provides substantial anti-racism consultation and training for non-profit institutions, business and community organizations, and institutions of higher education.
