Anti-Racism Learning Community
In light of UniLu’s ongoing commitment to living our our faith by working for justice, the Anti-Racism Learning Community meets regularly to discuss what we can do to grow our understanding of and action around racism and racial injustice in our own communities and in the United States. For connection information, see the UniLu Calendar. With questions or to be added to the group’s email list, contact Kris McQuage-Loukas.
