Berkeley Reparations Panel Discussion

For several years at All Souls Parish we have been studying about, discerning with, and acting to be, “repairers of the breach and restorers of the streets to live in.” From our class on a Christian understanding of racial reparations in the fall of 2021, to the Isaiah Project’s report about some of the long-felt effects of racism in the East Bay, to the grants of the Isaiah Project and our growing relationships with four local organizations working towards repair, this work of repair has been an essential practice of our communal life. On Sunday, February 8th, we will have a panel discussion about reparations in Berkeley with two leaders in the Berkeley Reparations Coalition, Kad Smith and Maya Lawton. You can read more about the Berkeley Unified School District’s Task Force and the work of the Coalition here. The class will meet in the Common Room at 9:15 am.
