SOCIAL JUSTICE & WHITE PRIVELEGE

Human justice is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering and struggle, the tireless exertions and passionate concerns of dedicated individuals
-- The Rev'd Dr Martin Luther King, Jr.

It is important to take advantage of opportunities to deal with the issue of racism within ourselves, our churches, our communities, and our state. An important opportunity will be provided in a Saturday program titled “SOCIAL JUSTICE AND WHITE PRIVILEGE: Facing Reality, Building the Vision.”

The event will be held on February 9 from 9:00-3:30 p.m. at St. James Episcopal Church in Essex Junction (RT 2A). Leadership will be provided by the Dismantling Racism Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont, the Task Force for Uprooting Racism of the Vermont Conference, UCC, and the Peace and Justice Center of Burlington. $5.00 donation; lunch and all materials will be provided. Phone 802-878-4014 for further information.
