We are accountable for doing the necessary work within our own social identity groups to dismantle oppression of all types.
Research indicates that audiences are most receptive to messages from peers who share their social identities, particularly when it comes to information about addressing racism. We have a facilitator of color and a white facilitator to ensure that, if they wish, people from various racial identities are able to speak to and process with someone who understands their unique perspective and challenges. A cross-racial facilitator relationship ensures that we are accountable to our participants and to each other for doing the necessary work within our own racial groups to dismantle racism.
We are accountable for working with our local community.
We are both deeply involved in community work addressing inequity. Our community work includes but is not limited to Dr. Newman’s founding of the multimedia series The America We Know, and Dr. Hutchinson’s founding of the Santa Barbara chapter of Showing Up for Racial Justice. These and other efforts are unpaid, and we believe that unpaid work in the community is required by anyone committed to dismantling oppression in all of its forms. We especially encourage people to engage in community work in partnership with marginalized groups to which they do not belong, so they can leverage their privilege for social change.
We are accountable for the quality of our work and its impact.
The quality of our training and consulting work relies on our advanced degrees in our fields and our experience as facilitators. Developing programs for organizational and institutional transformation requires an enormous amount of time, and impactful training is rarely designed with the attention it requires when it is not compensated. We acknowledge the uncomfortable contradiction that exists because paid DEI work profits from systems of oppression, and yet we believe anyone who serves in this capacity should be fairly compensated in order to keep this work sustainable.
We are accountable for the accessibility of inclusion training for all people.
- We seek to disrupt the DEI Industrial Complex by offering the lowest possible fees for training- you will not find more affordable training from credentialed experts in this field- and if you do, we'll match it!
- We offer an entirely free version of our training for community members.
- We have several training options ranging in price so that every organization or group can choose an option that works within their financial constraints.
- We offer our training in a variety of modalities including entirely online, hybrid, and in-person, so that everyone with every ability and availability can participate.
We welcome conversations about our accountability and encourage anyone with concerns to reach out to us at allytoaccomplice@gmail.com
