August Workshops on the Impact of Racism on Infant Mortality

This month Anti-Racism Task Force members engaged in racial healing one-on-ones. The conversations helped us know and understand one another more deeply. We expect this will enhance our effectiveness as a task force. We as ISAAC members understand that we must engage in self-transformation so that we can equitably transform institutions.

This month ISAAC and Cradle will be hosting two repeat workshops. One workshop will be held the evening of August 12th and the other the afternoon of August 22nd. Title of the workshops: Understanding the Impact of Racism on Infant Mortality in Kalamazoo.  The purpose of our workshops: to build awareness among ISAAC Clergy & Faith Communities about the role of racism in infant mortality through education, deep listening and healing.
