SUMMARY:Community Conversations - Speaking of Race
DESCRIPTION:How do we talk to each other about race? \nHow can we understand people’s lived experiences of systemic racism or privilege? Join Deschutes Public Library\, and seek to understand one another and contemplate our experiences of race in America. Their first virtual Community Conversation (to be held over Zoom) will include discussion among participants\, as well as insights from two community members. \nEvery quarter\, Deschutes Public Library offers a Community Conversation event for community members of all backgrounds to share stories and discuss issues that matter. There’s an open feeling of trust and a bubbling up of ideas that break down the silos that are dividing our communities across the country. \nThe goal of Community Conversations is to expand our sense of neighborhood – across all economic\, political\, cultural\, and racial boundaries. We believe in the power of connections and friendships to bridge any divides. All of our conversations stem from a strong commitment to curiosity\, compassion\, and community.

SUMMARY:How to Talk About Race in Rural Communities - with LaNicia Duke
DESCRIPTION:Join Presence Collective for a webinar with LaNicia Duke on “How to Talk About Race in Rural Communities.” Many states are thought of as “progressive” when they have big cities with diverse populations. Outside of those big cities are rural communities struggling with how to define social justice reform or have conversations about race because of the lack of representation of underrepresented communities. LaNicia will share insight from her experience as one of the few Black people living in Tillamook county and how she has helped her communities have courageous conversations about race.
