What does FREC do?

2024 Overcoming Racism Conference

Across the centuries racism has destroyed lives and communities. FREC’s 2024 conference theme looked at the grievous harm racist policies and practices have caused the intersectional identities of Black, Indigenous, and other Communities of Color in the United States in housing, employment, criminal justice, education, and other sectors of our society. The conference also highlighted significant work underway in these sectors to bring justice and repair to those who have been harmed.

Shared Learning Community Circle

FREC’s online shared learning community circle is a way to share ideas and more with others who are interested in learning together to gain new perspectives, exchange bold ideas and build knowledge. Free, online. This program is suspended indefinitely.
