Justice at Work

Justice at Work by Freedom Lifted is a self-paced online training for individuals and groups that goes beyond most of those that focus solely on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The time commitment for the online training is 3-4 hours.
In this online course you will:

  • Explore the relationship between identity and power
  • Take a deep look at the history and legacy of oppression in the U.S.
  • Learn what resistance and solidarity look like in practice.
  • Adopt a shared language when addressing social justice
  • Begin or continue creating plans of action that shift culture and develop practices that advance justice in your organization and community.

Sign up below to get access to the Justice at Work online course. Instructions to access the online course will be emailed to you within a week of sign-up.

For participants who complete the course, we will be hosting three live workshops with Freedom Lifted on October 24th, 31st & November 14th.

We are excited to be able to offer Justice at Work on an limited basis in 2023. This opportunity is for Kalamazoo-based individuals and for Kalamazoo-based organizations. We ask that you please limit sign-ups to 10 people per organization.
