The People's Gathering: A Revolution of Consciousness The People's Gathering: A Revolution of Consciousness

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW:

How people talk (or don’t talk) about race in the workplace AND school environments is a strong indicator on whether an organization is healthy and has an inclusive culture. Intentionally preparing company leaders, managers, employees and students to have these hard and sometimes difficult conversations is a strategic action towards improved communication and sense of belongi

ng, reduced risks and productive environments. THE PEOPLE’S GATHERING is a professional/personal development learning experience and networking opportunity designed to move the (often dreaded) “Race Conversation” forward. The conference seeks to create a supportive space in which participants can engage in honest and open dialogue about race and racial disparities that are systemically present in work, school and everyday life. They will become more aware of how race shows up as structural barriers to realizing a diverse and inclusive environment and learn ways to navigate the sensitivity of it all by deepening personal understanding of the issues. TPG will also provide a unique and fun opportunity for participants to expand their professional and personal networks across cultures.

Founded in 2017 by Melannie Cunningham, The People’s Gathering is now an annual event held at Pacific Lutheran University. Over 250 people attended the conference in 2018, with a large number from local, regional, and state governments. We look forward to continuing to grow the size of the conference and improve the reach of these vital conversations!
