DESCRIPTION:The Diablo For Peace and Education Committees of the Mt. Diablo Peace and 
 Justice Center have organized a series of events entitled "Addressing 
 Racism In Our Community".\n\nThe first in the series included a panel of 
 local representatives from the indigenous Ohlone and Miwok communities.  
 Next up is a presentation by Alyson Reimer, an attorney and Special 
 Assistant to the Director of UC Berkeley's Haas Institute for a Fair and 
 Inclusive Society.  She will speak on "Building the Beloved Community: 
 Addressing Racism Inside the Classroom and Out".\n\nReimer previously 
 worked as a researcher for the Southern Poverty Law Center and as a law 
 clerk to Founder Morris Dees.  Her work includes both legislative advocacy, 
 academic instruction, and consultation in issues related to diversity, 
 equity and inclusion. \n\nHer thoughts: "Race is a little bit like gravity; 
 everyone knows it exists, but very few people on earth actually understand 
 its full complexities. Before we can create a true sense of belonging, we 
 need to understand the structural,  social, and individual forces that are 
 working against us.  We will examine how race and racism in America came to 
 be, and, address what we can  do to unlearn and restructure the habits, 
 biases, systems and structures that keep racism in place."\n\nThis event is 
 funded in part by a grant from the Walnut Creek Civic Pride Foundation.  
 For more information, please contact the Center office at 
 925-933-7850.\n\n$10 in advance /$15 at the door / FREE for students.\n
