The Marianist Leadership Scholars, Marianist PULSE and the MSJC Racial Justice Issue team invite you to participate in the Racial Wealth Gap Simulation facilitated by the Hall Hunger Initiative.

Tuesday, April 26 at 7:00pm-8:30pm
1401 S Main St, Dayton, OH 45409

Why this Simulation?
In the United States, hunger isn’t caused by a lack of food, it’s caused by poverty. To understand poverty, we have to understand the racial disparities in the United States. One way to explore this issue is the Racial Wealth Gap simulation. Using the material designed by Bread for the World, the facilitators from Hall Hunger Initiative guide participants through a fact-based exercise with specific examples of policies and their consequences. In about an hour, participants learn how federal policies created structural inequalities and how these policies increase hunger and poverty in communities of color. (Hall Hunger Initiative)

What is the Racial Wealth Gap Simulation?
The Racial Wealth Gap Simulation is an interactive tool to help people understand the connections among racial equity, hunger, poverty, and wealth. It is a good first step for people unaware of structural inequality, a support tool for those who want a deeper understanding of structural inequality, and a source of information for experts who want to know the quantifiable economic impact of each policy that has widened today’s racial hunger, income, and wealth divides.(Bread for the World Institute)

Why?
This is a very important opportunity to learn, reflect and organize as a Marianist Family in the Dayton area. Join us for the experience and let's see where it calls us next. All members of the Marianist Family and their co-workers, neighbors, friends and anyone else is welcome!
