Carrie Sterns (she/her/hers)
"We are only able to reach our highest heights when we do it together."
Carrie Sterns has over 20 years of experience working in equity, education, and training. Through interactive and experiential learning, she has supported individuals and organizations to understand the fundamentals of oppression, and learn skills and tools for creating more equitable workplaces, movement campaigns, and relationships. Carrie works to address individual and institutional root causes of inequity directly, and supports transformation at all levels inside of a system. Carrie’s work draws from our intellectual and somatic experiences of our identities and creates space for both learning and healing. As Director of Education & Praxis at Bend the Arc: A Jewish Partnership for Justice, she currently works to organize the American Jewish community towards Black liberation, deepen understanding of the intersections of anti-Black racism and antisemitism, and fights for legislative and policy shifts that fundamentally change the material experience of people’s lives. She believes deeply in liberation through collective action, and that each one of us has a role to play in undoing systems of harm and creating more just communities.
