We, as a community, are witnessing the presence of policies fueled by seperation, racial tensions and intolerance.
Hate and fear as a foundation for policies do not exist in a vacuum. The foundations of these sentiments can be found within our own communities.

Join us for a honest panel discussion on how we, as a collective community, respond to these challenges in order to create the "Beloved Community" we have the potential to become.
