We meet the first Thursday of each month to discuss social justice resources and share our learning journey.
November 5th, 6:30pm Meeting – Consider the following questions:
How has systemic racism affected you? What is your role, or what is your white privilege? What can you do to be an ally or an anti-racist?
Select a book, movie, or podcast to learn from (or more than one), and reflect on current events. Choose from recommended resources below, or choose something else and tell us about it.
