Join us for a discussion of Ibram Kendi's book "How to Be an Antiracist" on November 8 at 4 pm.

RSVP REQUIRED - YOU'LL RECEIVE ZOOM LINK AND PASSWORD UPON REGISTRATION

"Denial is the heartbeat of racism...The heartbeat of antiracism is self-reflection, recognition, admission and fundamentally self-critique...One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an antiracist. There is no in-between safe space of "not racist." The claim of "not racist" neutrality is a mask for racism." - Ibram Kendi

We want this discussion to lead to a plan for actions we can take to be antiracists. We encourage you to read the book, though reading it is not a prerequisite for participation. Copies of the book are available on Amazon, at Bonai Shalom, and the Boulder JCC. You can also prepare by listening to Kendiโ€™s Ted Talk, The difference between being โ€œnot racistโ€ and antiracist.
