Our Mission
We advocate for racial equity in our community by connecting people with resources and each other through book and panel discussions, workshops, webinars, a website, and an Action Committee.
The Action Committee focuses on four areas to help dismantle structural racism: Voting, Environmental Justice, LGBTQ+, and Policy & Legislation. Stay tuned for upcoming meetings.
