REACHsv

REACHsv The Racial Equality Action Committee of Huntsville began in 2016 as a series of community conversations on racism.

Since then we've helped organize criminal justice reform efforts, and we've developed programs to address implicit bias.

We are thrilled to announce an exciting addition to An Evening with John Archibald: Huntsville's own Dexter Strong, who will host the conversation.

Dexter Strong works in public policy as a Director of Research and is the Youth Pastor at Monte Sano United Methodist Church. You might know him from his work with civic organizations such as Huntsville Committee of 100 and REACHsv. He is the perfect person to talk with John Archibald about church and Civil Rights, faith and justice.

We hope you'll join us on April 8 at 6:30 pm CST for this online event cohosted with the Huntsville Library Foundation. We have a few remaining *signed* copies of Shaking the Gates of Hell, so let us know if you'd like one.

CALL TO ACTION!!!

REACHsv is organizing a large-scale effort called Solidarity Sunday to be held on June 21st. We are calling on churches across America to specifically and explicitly address the evil of systemic racism and commit to clear, ongoing action to root it out in our communities and in our country.

REACHsv will issue formal invitations to denominational leadership and individual church leaders across North Alabama.

REACHsv will equip members of the community for direct action by providing them formal invitations to carry back to their church leadership to encourage their leaders to stand in solidarity.

REACHsv in partnership with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) Huntsville Chapter will provide a set of guiding principles and resources to ensure that this solidarity is expressed in ways that directly address the systemic problem rather than in ways that tokenize or mischaracterize.

REACHsv will issue a Solidarity Pledge—a public pledge by churches to continually fight systemic racism through 1) training for church leadership and 2) monthly efforts to raise awareness of systemic racism at the congregational level.

REACHsv will partner with Project Say Something to provide this ongoing training and accountability to ensure these efforts extend well beyond Solidarity Sunday.

We implore every church in America to stand in solidarity with their Black neighbors. The time for silence and complacency is over. We believe the call for followers of Jesus is to fight for justice, and we believe that call begins with a willingness to stand in solidarity.
