VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism
Hello G&P, Haggerty, Tobin, and VLUS Families,
Please join the FINAL meeting of the year for the monthly affinity group for VLUS Triad White Caregivers Working Toward Anti-Racism.
The affinity group reads and discusses various texts throughout the year in order to address our own unconscious biases and to take an active role in fighting white supremacy in our schools, communities, and ourselves. At the last meeting of the year, we will reflect on our work together and begin planning for our work next year.
