Join us for this one of a kind Summit this May. We have come together as a broad coalition of partner organizations and allies to create A Community Call to Confront Hate.

Participants will learn about implicit bias and have the opportunity to learn from breakout sessions that will deal with current issues around racism, antisemitism and other forms of hate. Most importantly, presenters will share their expertise on the strategies, resources and tools to help participants translate their commitment to social justice and equity into effective social action.
