Come and learn more about the work of Community Healing Days and the Collective for Social Change in Black Communities.

In conversation, they’ll share their understanding of the effects of systemic trauma, and in particular how internalized trauma can impede communities from working together for social change. They will also share their perspectives on the role of collective healing in larger social transformation.

Join us on February 6, from 12 – 2 p.m. Bring you own lunch or snack on what we have!
