Pub Theology is focused on the betterment of our community and bringing people together to share hope. Here’s a way to help engage your community should you want to know more about anti-racism work.
Become a Better Ally: Daily Habits of an Anti-Racist
This is a totally virtual program: You do not have to live in Putnam County to participate!
It is not enough to think of yourself as an ally. The word “ally” is a verb. To ally one’s self to others is to actively and consistently engage in visible work for justice and social change. What are you doing to integrate anti-racism actions into your daily life?
Being committed to anti-racism work is about building new habits, continual education, sustained action and becoming more fluent in talking to others about racism. Sometimes it’s hard to just get started. This 4-week, 15 minutes a day program will assist you in becoming a better ally.
This fall, two separate virtual 4-week sessions are being offered: September 13 – October 10th and October 18th – November 13th. Each session will begin with a one-hour orientation (time and date are flexible to meet participant's scheduling needs). Each week, participants will receive a list of resources to independently listen to/read/watch along with a weekly action. Additionally, each week participants will be paired with a buddy to talk to about the resources/actions. There will also be a weekly opportunity to talk in a larger group setting. The hope for this program is that it will create a habit of spending time each day doing anti-racism work and assist participants in becoming more comfortable talking to others about racial issues.
This program is sponsored by the Greencastle League of Women Voters in partnership with the NAACP - Greencastle Branch #3051, Gobin Church, and Ivy Tech - Greencastle Campus.
