ANTI-RACISM RESOURCES & OPPORTUNITIES TO GET INVOLVED
Ending racial injustice is a marathon, not a sprint. Romemu Rabbi Mira Rivera has been deeply involved in the work of racial justice and equity on a local and national level for years. For the last 18 months, Romemu Rev. Eleanor Harrison Bregman has led an initiative with Romemu lay leaders to deepen their understanding of how personal and systemic racism functions in their lives, in the Romemu community, and in our country. With the help of a grant from the Union Theological Seminary Vision Program we have been working with a specialized consulting firm to assess Romemu’s progress toward creating an inclusive community that is specifically anti-racist.
As an outgrowth of that work, Romemu is committing to the following actions:
- All Romemu staff and clergy will participate in a series of trainings to deepen our understanding of how personal and systemic racism affects our lives and our community.
- Romemu will provide ongoing opportunities to the community for growth and reflection on systemic and personal racism, racial bias and inequity.
