Description:

ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race) 

Please join the A.C.T.OR. community for the second discussion in our three-part series on PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY. In May, we focused on “Bridging Divides,our discussion focused on the importance of voting and how to engage voters with Differing Candidate Preferences. The discussion this month will attempt to define the many ways (in addition to voting) we build our democracy. This is an opportunity to be in community with our neighbors.to discuss how and what we do to enhance our democracy. Whether it is community building, lobbying, letter campaigns, or demonstrations… what actions can we take to save and strengthen our democracy?

Plan on attending this important, timely community discussion.

---

A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) is a public discussion series. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, class and culture. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action!

On the last Sunday of each month, there is a new topic for discussion
