New Day Rising Conference
Identifying Your Congregation’s Next Steps in the Struggle with White Supremacy Culture
UU Congregation of Fairfax
Saturday, January 26 2019
9am – 430 pm

 
Have you been or wanted to be involved in Allegheny’s fight to dismantle White Supremacy culture? If so, we encourage you to look into this day long workshop led by Central East Region staff and UU congregational leaders.  The workshop is designed to tackle tricky issues such as coming up against resistance, knowing where to start and what comes next with our efforts.  Morning workshops are diverse and designed to meet folx where they are, and the afternoon is real stories from congregations about their actual work for liberation, without perfection or completion.
 
We are hoping to assemble a group of Allegheny friends and members to attend. If you’re interested, please contact Shane Freeman or Sarah-Wade SmithYou can also check out the event online.
