HOW DO WE DEFINE RACIAL EQUITY? Racial equity is assurance that all people especially, indigenous people, black people, and other people of color, live in a world that acknowledges our full humanity and where we all have the power to operate from a place of, abundance and aspiration. Achieving racial equity requires: Valuing all individuals and populations equally Recognizing and Rectifying historical injustices Providing resources according to need Racial disparities will be eliminated when racial equity is achieved.

Land Acknowledgement

Every community owes its existence and vitality to generations from around the world who contributed their hopes, dreams, and energy to making the history that led to this moment. Some were brought here against their will, some were drawn to leave their distant homes in the hope of a better life, and some have lived on this land for more generations than can be counted. Truth and acknowledgment are critical to building mutual respect and connection across all barriers of heritage and difference. We begin this effort to acknowledge what has been buried by honoring the truth. We are standing on the ancestral lands of the Creek Indian People: The Lower Muskogee Creek Tribe and the Poarch Creek Indians. We pay respects to their elders, past and present. Please take a moment to consider the many legacies of violence, displacement, migration, and settlement that bring us together here today. And please join us in uncovering such truths at all public events.

THE NATIONAL DAY OF RACIAL HEALING Equitable Dinners is proud to join millions across the country today as we DURMERRICK ROSS

reflect on the past in hopes of transforming our future. Founded in 2017 as a part of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s national Truth, Racial Healing, Transformation efforts. The National Day of Racial Healing is held each year on the day after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day; this day offers space to reflect and recharge as we prepare for another year in pursuit of equity. Racial healing repairs communities and people that have experienced adversities caused by racism. Racial equity cannot be achieved without healing the communities affected by racism, so this day exists to bring about transformation within us all for sustainable systemic change. Equitable Dinners hopes to face our past, reclaim our present, and transform our future through theater and courageous conversations.

These symptoms could indicate a potentially lifethreatening complication. Document and share pregnancy history during each medical care visit for up to one year after delivery. Maintain ongoing healthcare and social support systems before, during, and after pregnancy. Healthcare providers can: Help patients manage chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity. Listen to pregnant and postpartum people’s concerns, and communicate with patients about urgent maternal warning signs. Use tools to flag warning signs early so women can receive timely treatment. external icon Coordinate ongoing healthcare for women before, during, and after pregnancy.

DAY 2

Hospitals and healthcare systems can: Identify and address unconscious bias in healthcare. external icon Standardize coordination of care and response to emergencies.
