Collaborative Conversations: Anti-Racism & the Environment
SIX PART SERIES, LAST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH
NEXT SESSION JULY 29TH AT 5:30 P.M.
Brushwood Center at Ryerson Woods believes in the power of nature and art to heal and nourish communities. However, natural areas, parks and preserves are often not safe or accessible places for BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) communities, due to over-policing, racial profiling within green spaces, institutional bias, and other systemic injustices.
Join this six-part virtual workshop series, hosted via Zoom, exploring environmental inequity in Lake County and surrounding areas through connection, empathy, and anti-racist action. Our next session will discuss a podcast series by Connor Kennedy, created four years ago for Libertyville High School's student newspaper, Drops of Ink. This three-part series explores the history of redlining, white flight, and its impact on Lake County. You can listen to the episodes here.
We ask that all of our participants arrive open to learn and ready to listen. Anti-racism work asks us to go beyond what is convenient; it is a daily practice that must be cultivated carefully and intentionally
