SUMMARY:Unpacking Race and Housing - 1/6/24
DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides a foundational framework for understanding and being able to take action on the racial disparities in housing that exist due to the historical legacy of racism in our country and state. At Beacon\, we believe that to further racial equity we first need to acknowledge the fact that Minnesota has some of the widest racial disparities in the nation – especially in housing. Secondly\, to close the disparities we must learn about and from our history and how it shaped who we are and what we need to do today. Participants will leave this workshop better equipped to lead their congregation and the collaborative in campaigns that address this legacy of racism in housing and homelessness. \n**Registration for this event is full. If you’d like to learn more about future offerings of Unpacking Race and Housing and other Beacon trainings\, please email Emily at egoldthwaite@beaconinterfaith.org**
