Racism, Injustice Workshops
The Central Presbyterian Church hosted workshops on racism and injustice for the general public.
On Thursday, May 26, the Central Presbyterian Church welcomed the public to participate in four workshops led by Visions Inc. in June to address and dismantle systems of racism and oppression.
The sessions aim to equip participants with some basic tools for engaging in cross-cultural interactions, according to the church's website.
Another purpose, according to the church, is to provide a shared language for the central community to continue to work together to establish a more inclusive and fair church and society.
The workshops will be interactive, with a focus on practical learning and application.
Participants are asked to contribute their whole selves to the conversation, regardless of their level of racial awareness or activity.
Attendees who are interested in participating can email Rev. Jasiel Hernandez Garcia or read this week's e-news.
