Nicole Johnson:

What is A New World? Yeah, big question. It starts with a hypothesis. Let's try it. If Americans are given the opportunity to engage in structured Grace led communal activities and accountability for sustainable social change, they will then enact it. How about it? Let's see. 52 weeks cross industry learning about everyone's favorite topic this year, diversity, equity and inclusion. A New World is a 52-week, year long community and accountability practice conducted by the Harriet Tubman effect. Our mission with this community practice is to guide wheeling American institutions, leaders and community members towards dismantling systemic oppression and resisting white supremacy culture, in your workplaces, big dreams. But I think we can do it. Who is this for? Workplace professionals who want to dismantle white supremacy culture in their daily spaces, and hold themselves accountable to new inclusive practices and policies. There are tracks available for both people who are marginalized and white allies who are going to work together while prioritizing the support education and healing needed within each of those individual communities. So I know you want to know what to expect. 52 weeks is a long time, but it's gonna be fun. You'll get engaged with the community connect with a diverse group of researchers who are ready to unpack unconscious bias, navigate intersectionality of identity and open hearts and minds to marginalized communities and their lived experience. The program comes with a newly designed manual crafted by the researchers, educators and artists at Harriet Tubman effect who have been learning and growing together for the past two years... Coolest people I know. Throughout the year, you'll have options to meet twice a week online, two to three times for communal in person events, and you get access to our cool new headquarters. It's like we're dismantling systemic oppression superheroes. During the Combahee River Raid of June 1 1863, Harriet Tubman freed 700 enslaved people, the 700 annual initiation fee for the New World program honors the liberation of the men, women and children who removed their shackles for the last time that day. Throughout the course of the year, participants will be encouraged to reallocate their wealth at for additional parts of the experience is they engage in community and educational resources. We don't only know the truth of how to change our systems by engaging in this work, but we get to manifest this stuff freely if we want. It's like we have the keys to a whole new world. And the main key is just changing how and why we participate in the systems we perpetuate. We might be the ones to usher in the new era. The greatest achievements must begin somewhere and they always begin with the person.
