Hello Friends,

The ARC begins with the first email on Saturday, October 1st. Each Friday morning through October, we’ll send an email with a list of 10-12 suggested anti-racism activities for you to choose from. These range from reading an article, calling an elected official, making a donation, watching a film by Black artists, patronizing a Black business, attending a rally, etc. To participate, we ask that you complete 2-3 anti-racism activities per week during a 4-week period. We, at All Peoples, will meet as a group on Fridays in October to discuss our experiences in connection with the given materials.
