In July 2020 a group from CSE came together as a community to engage in self-reflection, education and action to support and to stand in solidarity with those experiencing racism in our community. Out of these conversations grew a need to reach out to our larger community with a much larger conversation.
As a result, we created a panel discussion, “We Cannot Walk Alone”: Anti-Racism and Allyship which was held on March 9, 2021. We brought together an amazing group of leaders and educators involved in the work of anti-racism.

“We Cannot Walk Alone” is a quote from Martin Luther King’s renowned “I Have a Dream” speech which exemplifies our purpose to seek greater connection in the fight to dismantle racism.
