This event is the first of a 4-part series designed for white / non-Black POC folks who want to step into a learning community to listen to Black voices on topics from reparations to law enforcement.
Here is what we’ll do... each meeting, Meg Adler will read or play audio from various important writings to support dismantling systems of anti-Black oppression and death. While you listen, you will be art journaling and truly focusing on what is being said. After each reading and journaling, we will have a chance for discussion or reflection as a group. Finally, we will make a list together of what we can do each week as related anti-Black oppression work.
