UUAA Book Circles: "Me & White Supremacy"
Are you interested in doing the work required to combat racism?  Have you heard of white supremacy and want to know more about your relation to it and how you can affect positive change against it?

Join us to discuss, journal, and do a deep dive into the book, "Me and White Supremacy", by Layla F. Saad. We will be meeting BY ZOOM for five consecutive weeks. There are two group options available, each on a different week day:
  • Tuesday nights, 10/4 - 11/1 from 7:00-8:30pm, held by Larry Works & Arika Lycan
  • Wednesday nights, 10/5 - 11/2 from 7:00-8:30pm, held by Kristin LeSueur, Kate & Jon Thomas-Palmer
One key to the work is journaling about your personal experiences. So you'll want to have a writing journal available.

NOTE: You do not have to have read the book by the first meeting. In fact, it is preferable that you NOT have read the whole book in advance, as we will be offering a plan that will allow us to proceed together. Just have your journal available for the first session.

NOTE:  While all are welcome to participate in these circles, regardless of identity, the author cautions that, "This work takes a considerable emotional labor toll of BIPOC, and the work is not for them to do- it is for people with white privilege to do". With that noted, the group facilitators will work to make this a safe space for all who choose to participate.

Each participant will need to have their own copy of the book.  You'll be able to borrow a copy from the church - just let us know in the form below.
