Dialogue Circles Summer 2020!!
We are really excited to offer a round of dialogue circles this summer! Here is a link for more information, dates and to sign up to participate in one!! https://forms.gle/ERBSn7H2NayTVixq6
Dialogue Circles are a space for self-education, accountability and action. We will use this space to develop greater self-awareness and capacity to show up with integrity to the movement work. Our intent is to mobilize white people to work against white supremacy. We are offering three dialogue circles focused on two themes: "Beyond Policing" and "Dismantling White Supremacy Culture from the Inside Out"
We want to hear from you! Please reach out if you want to have a one-on-one conversation with us about what you are energized about and learn about western MA SURJ. Our core (planning and visioning) meetings are open to you if that is something you are excited about. If you are part of a group doing movement work, we would love to connect and collaborate. We want your input on what you think is important going forward.

The battle is and always has been a battle for the hearts and minds of White people in this country. The fight against racism is our issue. It’s not something that we’re called on to help People of Color with. We need to become involved with it as if our lives depended on it because really, in truth, they do.
