Racial Privilege Awareness & Responsibility Discussion Group
Time: 6:45 pm - 8:45 pm

Description: We plan to meet monthly over the summer to support and encourage each other in putting what we have learned from Ijeoma Oluo’s book, So you want to talk about race, into action in our lives. We look forward to working together to share these struggles and ways that Zen practice can be applied to understanding and using our racial privilege as we work toward racial justice.

Who: Anyone who attended either session of our book discussion last spring OR who has read at least the first three chapters of Oluo’s book.

When: The third Sunday of each month, 6:45-8:45 pm (June 17th, July 15th, August 19th)

What: Bring your book (if you have one) so we can continue to revisit the text together, and bring any questions you have about ways you’re working on these issues in your life. This group is a work in progress so we welcome feedback about what folks want it to look like and its structure can evolve over the course of the summer as people make it what they need to support their efforts to implement ideas from the book."
