The Y is excited to announce the Friday Forum + Conversation Cafe Spring 2022 series! Building on the success of last fall, which saw over 700 attendees in person and online, the Spring series will continue its look at the legacies and intersection of racism in our communities. How can we nurture our commitment to faith and radical hope in the face of racism, grief, and loss? How can we cultivate a community grounded in restorative justice, liberatory education, and racial equity? How can we find power and resilience through radical printmaking, documentary fiction and authentic storytelling? We will hear responses to these questions from community leaders, scholars, creatives, and leading voices in the fight for racial and social justice.
