<div><font face="Times" color="#000000">Greetings Friends-<br>
<br>
The next Anti-racism Meeting will be held Sunday, October 2, 12-4:00
pm at the Center for Contemplative Mind at 199 Main Street,
Northampton.</font><br>
<font face="Times" color="#000000"></font></div>
<div><font face="Times" color="#000000">We will keep working to
provide more notice about future meetings. Please be patient as
we find the best way to divide up the administrative
tasks.</font></div>
<div><font face="Times" color="#000000"><br>
In August and September people suggested having our meetings last more
then two hours as it has been difficult to make decisions in two-hour
meetings. Weekends were also suggested as a time when longer
meetings could be held. However, recently individuals have
expressed that they are not able to make weekend meetings.
We'll keep discussing meeting times and locations for future
meetings.<br>
<br>
At the last meeting in September we decided to move forward with the
proposal made by Enoch Page to establish a leadership institute for
training in whiteness and white privilege analysis. One agenda
item for the meeting on Sunday is to consider next steps in advancing
this proposal.<br>
<br>
This training activity is complimentary and supportive to action
projects like the anti-racism walk proposed by Ruth Trujillo and
others. On Sunday and in future meetings we will discuss these
ideas for the education and action work.<br>
<br>
Please bring something to share for a light brunch we will have
together. (bagels, juice, fruit, some sort of protein, whatever
you like). You will also need to bring your own coffee or tea as
we will be in a reserved room and not in someone's home for this
meeting.<br>
<br>
See you soon-<br>
