Dialogue Toward Ending Racism
A dynamic program that moves us from talk to a greater understanding of others in our communities.
About this event series
Racism affects our community and every person’s quality of life. It shows up in inequalities between groups and in tensions among people from different ethnic backgrounds. To have healthy communities and a more benevolent country, we need to face racism head-on. In a democracy, there must be ways for everyone to have a voice in finding the solutions.
Now, more than ever, we need to listen to each other, break down the walls between us, and channel our emotions into meaningful relationships that become the foundation for sustainable change.
The program includes seven (7) group discussions among 8-12 individuals, guided by trained facilitators, focusing on race, racism and being thought partners to find solutions for ending racism. We have scheduled three groups as follows:
