GLIDE & Grace Cathedral host Community Thursdays: What Brings Us Together

SEE EVENT DETAILS
Social justice allies and "neighbors," GLIDE's Center for Social Justice and Grace Cathedral, are joining together to host Community Thursdays, a free, innovative workshop series on alliance-building for social change. In an increasingly diverse, fractured and evolving city (and nation), Community Thursdays hopes to bridge the gap in experience and understanding between neighbors. Conceived out of a shared desire to promote connection, the series seeks to uncover ways to build the beloved community together.

Sessions are free and open to all. Each evening will begin with an informal shared meal at 6:00 pm followed by moderated conversations with experts at 6:30 pm, which will include addressing divisive systems, facilitated table discussions, music and more. Participants may arrive as strangers but will leave with new friendships, a shared sense of community, and a better understanding of how to take action with resilience and hope.

WHEN:
o February 20 at GLIDE's Sanctuary
Shared meal at 6:00 pm; program starts at 6:30 pm
