RACE TALKS: Uniting to Break the Chains of Racism is non-partisan and committed to keeping the community informed and up-to-date. Join us this Fall, for our special retrospective series: RACE TALKS in Review, where we revisit outstanding, archived forums that resonate as powerfully today as they did when we first hosted them. You are invited to attend our LIVE virtual forums and engage in dynamic, facilitated discussion.
Representation for all people—the privileged and oppressed—is crucial for our democracy to survive. We are calling on YOU to get involved and active. Join us for our fifth annual ENGAGING DEMOCRACY: Activating Government for YOU & your Community. Learn how to access:
