The Essex Community Justice Center, in partnership with Heart and Soul of Essex and the Peace & Justice Center, bring a timely and important three-part workshop series - "Building Empathy and Addressing Racial Oppression" - to Essex, beginning on 1/11/17 from 6:30-8:30pm at Memorial Hall. This three-part program strives to give community members the opportunity to practice recognizing racism and addressing it. The three sessions focus on self, community, and systems/institutions. It is important that people attend all three parts of this workshop. Participants are strongly encouraged to sign-up with friends, colleagues, family members, or really anyone who will help continue to work beyond the three sessions. The second and third sessions are on 1/18/17 and 1/25/17. For more info call us at 863-2345 x6 or e-mail program@pjcvt.org. Register at this link; http://tiny.cc/0ju5gy
