How Do We Build An Anti-Racist Community?
CALL TO ACTION
As the weather is changing and the days are shortening - disparities within our communities are increasing.
A wise man once said “That nothing changes until something changes “. The power to decrease these disparities rests in the power of the people. Powderhorn, Central, Bancroft and Bryant neighborhood organizations have joined forces in hopes to build a community that is grounded on anti-racism principles. We believe that through these principles we can decrease disparities that continue to de-humanize marginalized communities. Let’s dream together, build together and create the community that reflects humanity and justice.
SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2022
6PM - 8PM
310 East 38th Street
Minneapolis, MN 55409
Dinner will be served!
