The Committee on Representation and Empowerment presents this five-part Lenten study for members of congregations in the Presbytery of San Jose who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color to explore the ideology of white supremacy, begin to understand the process by which ‘we became’ People of Color, and build capacity for antiracist institutional transformation and work.
Join CORE Chair Rev. Annanda Barclay and Rev. Jessica Vazquez Torres of Crossroads Antiracism for this study, developed with the particular demographic of Silicon Valley in mind.
