[act-ma] 6/07 encuentro5 Hosts Community Change Conversation Racial Oppression and Antiracism Amidst Hate

[Charlie Welch]

Racially fueled hate 'crimes' have become more blatant and more frequent!

While members of impacted communities fightback, there is much that 
white and antiracism activists can and should do. Undoing racism is the 
responsibility of everyone who believes that racism is a violation 
against humanity.

/encuentro5 is hosting and inviting you to participate in an interactive 
social justice conversation about *racial oppression *and antiracism 
work.* on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 6:00pm – 8:00pm at 9A Hamilton Pl. 
(across from Part Street train station Green and Red lines and next to 
Orpheum Theater) Downtown Boston.*/

/The conversation will encourage discussion to better understand how 
root causes of white privilege and supremacy, its manifestations and 
underlying dynamics impacts antiracism work. The discussion will assist 
in the building and strengthening of unity and solidarity with local 
antiracist and social justice movements./
