SUMMARY:“I [STILL] can’t breathe”: Supporting kids of color amid racialized violence
DESCRIPTION:Join EmbraceRace on June 5 for their webinar\, “‘I [STILL] can’t breathe’: Supporting kids of color amid racialized violence.” \nAbout\nBlack\, Brown\, Native\, and low-income individuals talk with children about how to interact with police. They file formal complaints against abusive officers\, take cellphone videos that go viral\, share their stories with media outlets\, file lawsuits\, and protest with allies at their side. With COVID-19 as a backdrop\, some predict a “long\, hot summer.” Others see a promising new determination by many white individuals to become a vigorous part of the solution. \nIn this complicated context\, what conversations about policing\, violence\, safety\, justice\, and race should parents and caregivers be having with their children of color? Join EmbraceRace on June 5 for that discussion. Questions and insights are encouraged. \nRegistration\nTo register\, visit the event webpage. \nMore Information\nPlease note that this event is high in demand. Those who are unable to get onto Zoom will be direct to the live broadcast on EmbraceRace’s Facebook page. A recording of the event will be available at a later date for those who are unable to attend. For questions\, please contact EmbraceRace through their contact form or on Facebook.
