PRACTICE sessions: "Interrupting Hate and Addressing Unintended Bias"
Wednesdays: November 14 and December 12
6-8pm in the vestry of the Unitarian Church of Montpelier (accessible)

Several recent requests have been made for white people to be more active in response to biased and racist comments being made in public. Each session will have a similar format and focus on practice, but the scenarios will be different, so participants may greatly benefit from attending one or multiple sessions. Facilitated by Kathy Johnson and other members of Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ). Co-sponsored by UCM's Lifespan Spiritual Exploration committee. All are welcome. This is the second of three practice sessions. Refreshments provided. People are invited to come to any or all.
