How to be an Anti-racist Book Read

Event Description: “Racism exists in our society and takes the lives of BIPOC everyday. It is not enough for us to say we are not racist. In order to dismantle white supremacy we have to actively work on being antiracist. How do we do that? What does that look like in our community? What will you do in your everyday life to be antiracist? How will you teach your children to be antiracist? These are all important questions to consider and ones I hope we can process together. We will be hosting multiple sessions and have breakout rooms for smaller group discussions.”

Date and Time: Wednesday, July 1 at 8 pm
