SUMMARY:Community in Action: Internalized Racial Inferiority
DESCRIPTION:In this event\, Adonai Yidnekachew will be leading a discussion about the younger generation’s view on the present and the future of society. She will discuss how racism has been hidden from youth by schools and by parents. This session will inform us about social media’s impact on teaching youth racism topics and how George Floyd’s murder has forever changed the minds of Gen Z. This session will provide resources for adults and parents to make it easier to teach children about topics like racism and lay the foundation for the next generation. We’ll teach you how to be more open with the younger generation and listen to their voices\, to give them more diverse experiences and perspectives to develop in their futures. We hope you join us in this action group to help create a path to learn and fight racism for Generation Z and future generations to come. \n*Please keep in mind that this session will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Community in Action: Racism in American Policing
DESCRIPTION:Within the first few days of the new year\, a mob of Trump supporters and extremist groups stormed The Capitol\, fighting police and security. They broke into The Capitol\, destroyed windows and furniture\, injured police\, and invaded senate chambers and rooms. \nIf we compare this “protest” to the Black Lives Matter protests\, we can see how differently this was handled in the face of the police. People who peacefully protested for the rights of black people to live like any other human being got hurt\, shot\, and killed by the police. This isn’t new\, and this narrative dates back decades\, when blacks were forced into free labor as slaves. \nThis event will focus on educating you on the history of policing and the racism built into it. We will start by watching the video “The Racist Origins of the US Police Force”\, a video that elucidates how policing today is rooted in the history of slavery in the United States. Be ready for an open discussion about the police force\, how this has affected you personally\, and the Defund the Police movement. \nJoin us to get informed\, listen to others’ experiences\, share yours\, and learn how to take action in your community as an anti-racist! \nARCC First Official Fundraising Event: ARCC & Enki Brewing “Diversity Tastes Great – Better Together” T-Shirt Awareness Campaign! \nGoogle Calendar ICS \nAt ARCC\, we believe that as people\, we are better together than we are apart because our differences make us stronger\, wiser\, and more empathetic when we UNITE. Starting November 27\, 2020\, show your support for ARCC and our vision of creating a racism-free society by purchasing and wearing our “Diversity Tastes Great – Better Together” T-shirt\, co-designed and sponsored by Enki Brewing in Victoria\, MN.

Please join us for our Introductory ARCC Book Club event\, “Understanding A Letter from a Birmingham Jail by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr with Pastor Dean.” We will be meeting on Tuesdays at 7:00 PM Central from 11/24-12/15 over Zoom Meeting ID 914 4731 6843\, Password: king. Each session will be recorded\, so don’t worry if you miss a week; you can always catch up! \nThis 4-session series unpacks the power and clarity of Dr. King’s letter he completed while in jail during the 1963 Birmingham Campaign to end unjust segregation laws. This text is\, in Pastor Dean’s mind\, the key to understanding why the teachings of Jesus are more relevant now than ever before. They are a foundation of lived ethics and a public “call to action” to fight injustice in an unjust world. Hear in Dr. King’s own words that people have a moral responsibility to break unjust laws and to take direct action\, rather than waiting forever for justice to come through the courts. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” \nThe letter was written in response to “A Call for Unity\,” written by 8 clergies asking King to stop demonstrating because it was upsetting white people\, especially “Christians\,” who thought he should be more patient. King’s response is polite and respectful\, filled with genuine love that he showed anyone on the opposing side. But he pulls no punches. He spells out the Four Steps to create a campaign of Direct Action. We will learn how nonviolence is a powerful act of love. He reminds us: “‘Wait\,’ almost always means ‘Never.’”

SUMMARY:Community in Action: Workplace Discrimination; Affirmative Action\, Moving the Goalposts
DESCRIPTION:For this month’s event\, our topic is centered around affirmative action. We will start the conversation by listening to one person’s experience which showcases why they believe we need affirmative action. Then the group will watch a video explaining what affirmative action is and how it’s tied to schools\, especially when it comes to applying for college. This video will inform the group discussion on whether race should be a factor in schools or job hiring. We invite others to share their negative or positive personal experiences with affirmative action or simply listen to others’ experiences and reflect on them. We will conclude the conversation by providing information on what action you can take to support affirmative action and to continue these conversations with family and friends. \n*Please keep in mind that this session will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Community in Action: Race and Education – Closing the Opportunity Gap
DESCRIPTION:Race and education are enormous topics from the history of denied access to education to people of color\, segregation of schools\, involuntary state residential “schooling” of indigenous children\, and today’s debate on critical race theory in curriculum. This month’s Community in Action event will focus on equity in preK-12 education and closing the Opportunity Gap. For years\, the education system in the U.S. tracked an “achievement gap” between white students and students of color. In our event\, we will look at why this is a false assumption and that there isn’t a disparity in achievement\, but rather an opportunity. Join us for a discussion on how we can create change in areas including: \n\nChildren’s health and preschool education\nEquitable and adequate school funding\nProviding a broad and rich curriculum\nSupporting teachers as professionals\nBuilding on the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of students\nBuilding stable and diverse communities\nPromoting enriching learning outside of school\n\n  \nWe will explore examples where states have re-appropriated education funding focused on equity and positive outcomes\, and talk candidly about how we can support scholars of color by giving them confidence and skills to successfully navigate their worlds as adults. \n
