This monthly discussion group has been discontinued.

Please sign up for our mailing list for more events and workshops designed to support us all in dismantling racism.

Please join us for an exploration of the roots of racism and the changes we are being called to make in ourselves and society.

This discussion will be guided by the books “How to Be an Anti-Racist” by Ibram X. Kendi and “Gather” by Octavia Raheem. These books and related resources will serve as a basis for discussion and deep reflection of ourselves and our culture.

Send any questions to info@spiritualactioninitiative.org

Next meeting and book pages will be announced in the class.
