Stories from the Street: Protesting in a Bi-Racial Family (Via Zoom)

January 19, 6:30pm-8:00pm

$15 preregistered/prepaid.

Registration Deadline: January 17 (A link will be sent to you one day prior to the event)

The murder of George Floyd, three miles from our home, mobilized our privileged, bi-racial family. We each view inequality and racism from many different angles. We each participated in a movement for change in a different way. I will share personal stories of my family’s journey through the chaos and grief that forced me to come to terms with my own racial biases.
