Building Anti-Biased Anti-Racist Families
October 6, 6:30 - 8:30 pm with Britt Hawthorne via Zoom
When we commit to collectively talking about fairness, equality, and justice with young children, we begin to envision a world in which not only children but all people are treated with dignity; free from the burden of unfair assumptions based on a single characteristic. It becomes a world where we actively challenge racism and bias each and every day.
In case you were not able to join us, this Zoom recording (Access Passcode: !XaE8233) will be available for viewing through November 6.
