Part of the In Solidarity Workshop: Systemic Racism, But I’m Not Racist. You may not be racist but if you are not working to dismantle systemic racism you are contributing to the injustice. Martin Luther King said it best, “Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will.” Learn how various forms of systemic racism continue to be obstacles for African Americans. The facilitator shares her parents’ stories of growing up in the Jim Crow south and then migrating to the north only to confront racism in Chicago.

Leaders are invited to an anti-racism training workshop each Saturday in May, 2021. The 1.5 hour workshops are led by Reverend Joan Crawford, whose ministry includes promoting interracial healing and dialogue. Spiritual leaders will be equipped to engage in conversations within their communities.

Hosted by Phoenix Fusion, the cost is $40/person, with attendance capped at 60 participants. Download the flyer and visit gcsynod.org/solidarity for more info.
