Throughout the Spring, starting April 14th until the end of June, the Alliance for Peacebuilding and the U.S. Peace, Justice, and Democracy Working Group are hosting a series of weekly webinars, Preventing and Reducing Conflict and Instability in the United States: Shaping What Comes Next, with leading peacebuilding and conflict prevention experts, donors, and policymakers from across the country.
The series focuses on the conflict dynamics driving instability, extremism, and toxic polarization, and more importantly, the political and policy changes needed to build a society that is just, secure, and fair for all Americans.
The second webinar of the series, "Dismantling Structural Racism and Injustice," took place on April 21st, 2021 at 2:00pm-3:30pm EDT.
