Join Daily Work in Conversation on First Saturdays

We Believe Listening is Essential to Growth and Connection

That’s why Daily Work launched Equity Chats – a monthly Saturday morning Zoom series where we come together to reflect, learn, and build community. Each session is grounded in a common resource such as a book, article, or video. 

Everyone is welcome. We do ask that attendees read, watch, or listen to some or all of the material in advance, as each participant will have dedicated time to share their experience with it.

We intentionally create protected space for reflection and sharing so that everyone can be heard. This structure helps build psychological safety, honors all voices, and invites deeper listening and thoughtful engagement.

First Saturday of Every Month • 9:30–10:30 a.m.

What to expect:
• Welcome from facilitators
• Round-robin check-in: How are you as a human?
• Share out from each attendee about the materials
• If time remains, open space for additional thoughts and questions

If you're worried about participating due to accessing online materials, let us know – we are working to find ways to ensure everyone can participate. Also note that many of these titles are available at your local library!

Upcoming Equity Chats

October 3

In Somewhere in the Unknown World, Kao Kalia Yang tells the stories of refugees from around the world who have made new lives in the Twin Cities. Yang interviewed each person, researched the histories of places she had not experienced herself, and then shared her written account with the individual to ensure accuracy. The product is a moving collection that goes beyond headlines and statistics to uncover the people behind them; revealing the resilience that shapes the refugee experience. 

Check availability at Hennepin or Ramsey County Libraries or buy it at Bookshop.org.

November 7

This month’s selection is The Pruitt-Igoe Myth, a documentary that explores the rise and fall of the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex in St. Louis. Through archival footage and the stories of former residents, the film challenges common assumptions about why the development failed and invites viewers to consider the roles of segregation, public policy, disinvestment, poverty, and systemic inequality.

View the film on its website for a $3.95 rental fee, stream for free with your library card on Kanopy, or view it on Amazon Prime.
