The Pro-Racial Equity Network is a collective that shares resources, hosts events, engages in study, and works in the community to promote awareness and justice.
We seek to inspire others as well as each other in this important work.
This February, United Church of Christ Racial Justice Ministries are offering the invitation to commit to a focused study of Black history both this month and throughout the year. These resources can also be used for the UCC’s designated Racial Justice Sunday, which falls on Feb. 8, the second Sunday in February.
Black History 365 resources are available to intentionally engage with Black history all year. These offer a four-part spiritual journey of reading, listening, and sitting with a long history of God’s human family from the continent of Africa. It is divided into four sections that focus on human migration around the globe, “looking back and moving forward” with Sankofa, the creation of humans, and exploring virtual spaces dedicated to Black history.
The Living Water Association has amassed a plethora of resources for engaging in the work of promoting anti-racism.
We hope these resources will help you in your work for Racial Equity. Please submit additional resource suggestions to Networks@heartlanducc.org.
A Reason to Have Hope is an online, self-guided, self-paced course available through the UCC’s Council for Health and Human Services and is a great way to get started on anti-racism learning in the context of public health.
There are new events and opportunities for engagement in the Anti-Racism Network’s work happening all the time. Check back here and on the Living Water Association community engagement toolbox and resource library for upcoming events.
