News & Events: Equity Chats

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.

Interested in joining? Registration is required.

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


Book cover of Sparked

May 2, 2026 —  Sparked: George Floyd, Racism, and the Progressive Illusion from MNHS Press
Edited by Walter R. Jacobs, Wendy Thompson Taiwo, and Amy August, a collection examining the murder of George Floyd and the uprisings that followed, challenging Minnesota’s progressive image. The essays and reflections expose how inequalities persist despite claims of progress.

A multitude of social scientists and academics consider Minnesota's racial dynamics and the intersection of the wonderful and wretched sides of that existence – revealing deep complexities, ingrained inequities, and their own diverse personal experiences.
