We have a special event for this month’s ILYM Anti-Racism Cafe. We are linking the Cafe to the American Friends Service Committee “Protect, Resist & Build” Webinar series. Northside Friends’ own Daniel Lakemacher is the first guest speaker for this series. Please note you will need to register to get the link

AFSC’s “Protect, Resist & Build” Webinar series focuses on Just Peace, Just Economies, and Just Migration. We’ll hear from Daniel about his anti-war veteran organizing efforts with About Face: Veterans Against the War. About Face works to support those in the military refusing immoral and illegal orders, whether they are conscientious objectors or not. Additionally, there will be presentations from AFSC Staff doing immigrant rights work in Los Angeles and anti-militarization work in the Bay Area.

Each month the ILYM Racial Equity and Education Committee will provide space both for Friends who want to share ideas for anti-racist activism, and for Friends who want to focus on the inward work of becoming anti-racist. This is an opportunity to learn about the experiences of Friends in other meetings, to share resources, and to come together in worship and fellowship to build a wider Quaker community.

The Anti-Racism Café is held the 15th of every month from 7:00-8:30 p.m. (Central). You are welcome to come for all or part of the session—stop in any time and stay as long as you want:
