[SRCAction] White Supremacy Teach-in at UCM

[Ansel Ploog]

Hello!

As you know, the Social Responsibility Committee will be leading a 
teach-in on White Supremacy on May 7.  I've received a few emails from 
people interested in helping but I would like more SRC folks!

You do not have to be a racial justice 'expert' to help with the 
Teach-In.  We are being guided by the Black Lives of UU in talking and 
teaching about this topic.  We need more people at UCM who have broken 
through the initial discomfort of talking about race and can be in that 
vulnerable learning space.  This is personally where I see myself.   
Please take a moment to look over the material I'm sending out.

Listen to the first Teach-in Webinar (right under the map of 
participating UU congregations): http://www.blacklivesuu.com/teachin/

Learn about the Safety Pin Box:

I'm particularly excited about the Safety Pin box because it involves 
looking into our own lives and seeing the ways that we are complicit in 
white supremacy culture.  I would love to figure out a way to 
incorporate an abridged version for the Teach-In on May 7.

Thanks all,

Ansel
