The Race Unity Circle

This month, on Wednesday, June 19th at the Christ Episcopal Church, 20 Carroll Street, Poughkeepsie, New York 12601, the RUC will host a conversation about the ongoing conflict in Israel/Palestine. Hosting such a conversation gives us pause because it is not squarely mission specific for us, and, as you know, is fraught with complex philosophical and ethical issues with valid arguments on multiple sides of every issue. Because the Race Unity Circle is founded upon ethical/spiritual principles, and because we have carefully curated a space for collective learning and the investigation of truth over the years, we have decided to wade into the discussion. Please join us.

Dr. Richard David (“Dick”), and Deirdra Jeneva Brown, Esq. (“Jen”) will be your intrepid (if naive) facilitators. Below is a link to the first of 5 “Polls” that we will distribute via email in the coming days. Please take a moment to participate. Once you have clicked the link you will receive a set of clear instructions. We encourage you to forward this link to anyone whose opinion you feel should be part of this discussion. You can also direct others to the Race Unity Circle website where they will find this link. All are welcome to participate even if they do not plan to attend the Race Unity Circle meeting on Wednesday, June 19th. The FIRST POLL attempts to find consensus around shared values. https://pol.is/3a5hdv3kvf
