Rowe Labor Day Presents – Visioning Session for Antiracism and Queer People

Within the week after this program, the recording will be posted under the presenter’s name on the Recorded Programs page.

This month’s discussion group will start with an exercise to help people orient themselves on a scale of racial consciousness, leading into a discussion of action steps for antiracism, and self-care, in daily life and for the Rowe Labor Day community.
