Fully Broken, Fully Healed: Building Accessible Justice Movements and Communities
Third Thursdays @ 8-9PM EST via video conference
Members will meditate on liberating theologies for people living with disabilities, learn about the history and legal context of access in faith/justice communities, witness/share personal testimonies. What would awareness, accountability, and solidarity look like between people living with disabilities and allies? We're determined to find out!

A Support Group for White Folks

A "BETA" version support group and training that's rough around the edges- just like us! Join in on a community of mutual support for reflection, prayer, and study on white privilege. Study resources, share personal stories, hear from speakers, and become equipped with ministerial tools for uprooting white privilege!
