Conclusions made from our meeting today:
The Anti-Racism workshops will be small workshops of students and a moderator. These workshops will consist of multiple meetings. We will consult the equity team and other community leaders for their advice and guidance. Something to think about for our next meeting: What would a first workshop look like? Goals: Come up with topics and questions for discussion and an outline for specifics.

In this meeting, we discussed the different ways we could approach hosting anti-racism workshops at WAHS. Our discussion led us to asking ourselves "What would an anti-racist WAHS look like?"
We reached conclusions that we should host in a more passive manner where no one is shamed or villainized for their opinions or level of education on anti-racism. Our goal is to build a better community, one where people can express and take pride in their differences and have safe in-depth conversations.
