Have the events of the past month prompted you to ask new questions about race? Feel overwhelmed at where to start? Join us this summer as we read through So you Want to Talk about Race by Ileoma Oluo, which is an easy-to-read introduction to key concepts about race. Facilitated by Abby Coppock and Carrie Kondor, this will be an online group with most of the meeting in small group discussion. We will meet for six Tuesdays 7:30-8:30pm, July 7-Aug 11. We are opening this up to other community members in the Pearl District/NW Portland – contact us for a flyer for your residential building or community bulletin board. Please rsvp with Abby Coppock to receive the zoom link.
