The Antiracism Learning Circles are small discussion cohorts that go through a book or podcast. These Circles were formed in the Fall of 2020 as an educational response to the unrest due to the murder of George Floyd. They are supported by First Unitarians, Advancing Racial Justice Action Group (ARJAG).

Description

One of our goals as a church is to build a multicultural, diverse, engaged, spiritual community that works to dismantle racism and other oppressions. Antiracism Learning Circles are opportunities to do some of that work, to expose ourselves to our true history, to increase awareness of ongoing oppressions, and to explore and reveal our reactions to issues concerning race in America. 

We strive to hear every voice, provide a safe space for expressing our doubts and discomfort, create a deeper understanding, and encourage and learn from each other in a small group setting.  

Open to all; please invite your friends and neighbors to join our Circles on Zoom.

How will these Learning Circles Work?

• Each cohort (typically 4-12) gathers for a series of 4-10 facilitated Zoom discussions.
• You have to register for a particular Learning Circle.
• Meeting dates & times depend on the specific circle & who is facilitating it.
• Each individual is given the opportunity to share reactions, then discuss as a group
• We ask that you attend all sessions so we develop trust bonds as we share personal stories and feelings.
