About The Racial Equity and Reconciliation Workgroup
The Workgroup's mission is: "To disrupt racism fundamentally on the personal, interpersonal, institutional, and cultural levels so that you can no longer predict access to power, wealth, privilege, or meaning based on race." The group has sponsored a series of film screenings and discussions focused on trauma and healing throughout 2018.
