May 6, 2021 PHOENIX, Ariz. - Human Services Campus Executive Director Amy Schwabenlender and Program Director Richard Crews have been selected to join 45 others as new Fellows with The Shriver Center on Poverty Law.
Subscribe The 47 Fellows will participate in the 2021 Racial Justice Institute (RJI), a leadership program that equips and coordinates anti-poverty advocates to affirmatively advance racial equity.
The past year has laid bare the systemic inequities and structural racism that many communities experience daily. In response to a national call to support Black lives, organizations have been challenged to examine their practices and dismantle barriers to opportunity. Legal aid and public interest advocates are key to achieving important systemic changes in their client communities; however, sustainable change must be grounded in an understanding of key race equity concepts and specialized tools.
