Hi neighbors,
As we continue to see individual and systemic racism in our country, we have heard a lot about how "we need to have a national conversation about race." But it can be pretty hard to have those conversations in a productive way. These trainings are designed to give white folks tools for having effective, productive conversations that are badly needed in our communities and our country. Please consider attending one or more of this upcoming series. Details below. Please note that these trainings are open to anyone, not just residents of South Burlington.
Thanks!
Your neighbor,
Annie Lawson
