Practicing using RGE as a lens by https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug This will give us space to draw out our thoughts and make connections that can further develop our understandings of the committee topics we selected. en-us 2021-04-12 22:21:12 UTC 2021-04-19 18:28:21 UTC hello@padlet.com Addressing Data Limitations jyee18 https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1414125545 We have identified communities that we want to better represent and the data issues in doing that - but how do we move forward to then finding solutions? Dedicated work groups? Part of larger work planning? ]]> 2021-04-13 22:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1414125545 In last year's survey, one element of our culture that staff identified was the failure to "seek out partnership or feedback with organizations who do direct service work with those most impacted." It seems like we haven't made much progress in this regard. Would this be one way to contribute to using RGE as a lens? sgraves43 https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427233535 2021-04-16 21:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427233535 Agree with others that we should revisit our progress in building relationships with organizations working with populations impacted by policies and discuss how to address data limitations. Also think it would be helpful to discuss/differentiate between approaching something "through an RGE lens" vs addressing RGE more tangentially, and how we can build a process for collaboration/brainstorming on topics where it seems harder to approach through an RGE lens.. https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427400075 2021-04-16 23:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427400075 What/how much of a role are BIPOC staff excepted to contribute to this? mdavalos8 https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427400210 I'm wondering if (like in most cases) the responsibility of educating others in regards to RGE is going to disproportionately fall on BIPOC staff.  ]]> 2021-04-16 23:01:43 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427400210 There are a lot of resources on how to integrate a racial equity or gender equity lens -- I don't think we would have to start from scratch. For additional learning on racial equity, it's always possible to divide white staff and POC staff into different tracks. aramosyamamoto https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427472169 2021-04-17 00:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1427472169 Agree with the statement about failure to seek partnership with other orgs and I see part of the problem coming from our still very siloed approach to developing work plans where there's little opportunity to collectively brainstorm or share ideas and information from our respective networks, and no formal process for gathering information from other organizations in advance of developing work plans. https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430145500 2021-04-18 16:11:01 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430145500 Externally, how are we doing? Would be helpful to hear from partner orgs (or groups we want to partner with) what we are doing well and how we could improve. ehutchful https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430985156 2021-04-19 01:14:41 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430985156 What are the obvious gaps we have in our work, for whatever reason (lack of partnership, data gaps, etc)? How can we move forward on these? ehutchful https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430988923 2021-04-19 01:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430988923 Not sure how, but we have in the past expressed the feeling that the gender aspect of our work has been lacking. How do we also keep that central? ehutchful https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430991931 2021-04-19 01:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1430991931 RGE connections https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433498354 The Budget Center doesn't formally "partner" with organizations, for the most part, in order to maintain its independence. But, we are an active part of a lot of networks (more by issue area than by race and ethnicity). How do we identify and do good outreach to networks that live up to our RGE lens aspirations?]]> 2021-04-19 15:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433498354 I would find it helpful to learn what "RGE as a lens" looks like in practice. I have heard this term repeatedly and I am not sure I know what it looks like in practice. https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433571552 2021-04-19 15:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433571552 Can we name our organizational goals beyond race and gender? https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433585048 2021-04-19 15:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433585048 Investing in Assessment - being studied could help us know how our data, messaging, visuals, etc are doing compared to others we hold in regard, and what are stakeholders say about us. sjimenez127 https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433605568 2021-04-19 15:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433605568 Would be great to have more opportunities to have discussions with each other about our projects while in the brainstorming and early drafting phases. https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433774261 2021-04-19 15:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433774261 It would be helpful to learn clearly what policies/practices have the most affects on race and gender. We have discussed (especially the former) some but not so much the latter. ehutchful https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433799519 2021-04-19 15:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433799519 How can we do a better job talking about race-class. For example, how can we do better job at discussing the disparities in Asian American community. https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433850518 2021-04-19 16:06:31 UTC https://padlet.com/maddie92/mlojyt0498i7evug/wish/1433850518
