Please Join! Read Against Racism –
A Book Club for Parents/Guardians
You (and any parents or guardians you know) are invited to join our book club: Read Against Racism. Read Against Racism is intended as a safe space where local parents can embrace difficult conversations and share perspectives on race and equity in Camberville and surrounding areas. Our goal is to build understanding, support a community that values all people, and cultivate shared vision for an equitable future. We know caregivers are busy and many times don't read the entire book. Don't let that hold you back from joining in our discussions-finishing the books isn't required! We meet the first Saturday of every month at 7-9PM. If you'd like to receive the virtual meeting links each month, please email us or join our Google Group. RAR is also on Facebook.
