Peace and Social Concerns Committee will facilitate a webinar series from American Friends Service Committee.  We will gather monthly, Jan 28 to May 26,th 8-10 pm,  for “Changing Systems, Changing Ourselves”.”

 During this webinar, we will learn ways to “offer grounded solidarity that does not reproduce oppressive practices,”  and explore anti-racist practices.   After exploring how concept of anti-blackness, how racism plays out in the US immigration system, in criminalization and the prison industrial complex, we will learn how we could work for immigration justice, look at the  theology and practice of accompaniment and go through case studies of real life examples.   We will have opportunity to apply practical skills by accompanying immigrants to ICE check ins, detention visitation and in other contexts

Attendees are expected to participate in the full course, which includes homework in between sessions

If you want to explore putting  faith and values into practice, join us.
