REI’s Statement on Uvalde, TX
With so many others, our hearts break for the families and community of Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. With so many others, we mourn, we ask why, we seek answers—again.
We have had little time to grieve the murders in Buffalo and the massacre before Buffalo and the massacre before that. And we pray they will always seem real to us, that they will always horrify us, that they will always frighten us, so we might interrupt this sickness of racism, hate and violence in our nation.

Our Services
REI’s two-day Phase 1 training is designed to develop the capacity of participants to better understand racism in its institutional and structural forms.
Phase 2 helps emerging racial equity leaders identify their struggles and challenges in light of the racial equity analysis outlined in Phase 1.
Phase 3 work is where an institution, organization, or network puts the analysis and tools from Phase 1 and Phase 2 into practice.
A typical Groundwater Presentation is a three-hour introduction to Racial Equity, and we can adjust to accommodate a shorter time slot or to dive deeper if you are able to allocate up to a full day.
Latino Challenges is a two-day workshop for people who live in or work with Latino communities and are interested in ending racial disparities in our institutions and working together for social justice.
