Conference

2019 HIGHLIGHTS

Thank you to all who made the Montana Racial Equity Project's Fourth Annual Conference a success

The Montana Racial Equity Project 2019 annual conference examined the troika of oppression - race, equity, and justice - in Montana. We dove into our local history and current-day effects on individuals, systems, the environment, and policy and practice.  Presenters emphasized how individuals and organizations can advance and effect positive transformational change – activating anti-racists. This conference had value for everyone, particularly for racial justice and equity activists and environmental activists living and working in the Intermountain West. Sessions included The History of Racist Ideas in America and Antiracism; the History of Racism in Montana, its current-day effects and manifestations; Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women; and Environmental Justice.
