Anti-Racism Task Force Report

Anti-Racism PhotoCo-chairs: Andrew Alm & Teleshia Parker

The Solution to Racism in America is Taking a Stand for “Anti-Racism!”

“The Anti-Racism  Task Force met for the first time on Tuesday October 27th at St. Luke’s downtown, thank you to all who attended. Joining us for our first meeting were Dr. Mundy and Aliisa Lahti from ERACCE, who helped facilitate a conversation where we thought about our personal definitions of racism. As we are a new task force, we are just beginning to explore the topics of race and racism in Kalamazoo and beyond. We encourage anyone who is able to attend the next 2.5 Day Understanding and Analyzing Systemic Racism workshop on December 3rd through the 5th.

If interested in this workshop, please email cdavis@isaackalamazoo.org to register and for scholarship information.

The next task force meeting will be November 17th, 7pm at St.Luke’s Episcopal Church. We look forward to seeing you there.”
