Racial Justice Task Force
View and join this group on Church Center
The Racial Justice Task Force works to dismantle racism in ourselves and our institutions through education and action.
The task force seeks to work with other organizations and to make events and programs broadly available. Here are some examples of our activities:
- We raise funds to support the work of Resilience Productions and provide and serve refreshments at their performances. The mission of Resilience Productions is to educate, enlighten and engage the public regarding the many unknown and uncelebrated contributions of African Americans to our country’s history.
- We donate books by BIPOC authors to local schools and non-profit organizations.
- We, together with the Bloomington Multifaith Alliance: Faith for Racial Equity group, offer book reads and community events with guest speakers to raise awareness of historic and current racial inequities and promote actions to advance racial justice and healing.
- We share information about how to safely and effectively intervene when witnessing harmful behavior like harassment, bullying, or violence.
- We support the local NAACP and help promote their events.
- We organize field trips to historically significant locations.
- We make financial contributions to support Native Americans whose homelands were in Indiana.
In addition, our meetings provide an opportunity for members to discuss and reflect on current events related to racial justice.
