Save the date! Saturday, July 18, at 11:00 a.m. on Zoom: Neighbors for Racial Justice (N4RJ) will give a one-hour presentation on “Confronting Racist Profiling: Creating Safer & More Welcoming Neighborhoods.” Based in Oakland’s Dimond District, N4RJ aspires to increase awareness of the impact of racist profiling that does occur in our neighborhoods and communities. This presentation will use storytelling and data to enlighten white neighbors about the issue and will link profiling to broader issues of racist bias and systemic racism. Participants will come away understanding the impact of racism on our neighbors of color and how to avoid perpetuating it so they will feel safer as they live, work, and visit here. Sponsored by the Peace & Justice Steering Committee. For more information, visit neighborsforracialjustice.org.
We’ll be meeting via Zoom. To get the link to the Zoom Room, email a request to the church office (office@mpcfamily.org) or contact Eloise Gilland.
