What’s Happening Wednesday!

There is a lot happening in our city right now regarding confederate monuments. Be on the lookout for more information about what you can do to make your voice heard about the importance of addressing symbols of racial pain and inequity.

Race Cards & Ramadan

We have far more in common than we differ. This is an evening to explore those commonalities and look for ways that we individually can work toward making Jacksonville a better community. In partnership with Sel and Angie Buyuksarac, we are hosting An Evening Without Labels: Friendship and Gratitude Ramadan Dinner. Sel and Angie have hosted these dinners for years in their home to build relationships, get people talking, and share some about the tradition of Ramadan. We are excited to partner with them to bring this opportunity to the 904WARD family.

This event will also sponsor a Little Free Diverse Library site! Please bring a book to donate to get our community reading about other people and other cultures. From early childhood books to adult fiction or non-fiction, we want to install libraries across Jacksonville that represent the richness of our cultural fabric and share the stories and perspectives of all people. So, bring a book and get ready to talk and eat!

Be a Video Star!

Help us spread the word about 200 Conversations in 2022!! We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to record a short video answering a Race Cards question to promote the 200 Conversations we want to ensure happen this year! Videos should be short (under 2 minutes) and can be shot on your cell phone camera.

If you are interested in shooting a video, please contact Whitney Touchton at whitney@904ward.org.

We Still Need Volunteers!

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with 904WARD, please sign up for our volunteer orientation coming up on Thursday, April 28 from 6:30 - 8:00. From welcoming people to events to facilitating conversations, we believe there is a place in this work that you will find extremely rewarding!
