All are invited to attend the latest in a series of bi-monthly presentations hosted by our chapter leaders! Local leaders of CTA Maryland will discuss the “Honest Conversations on Racism” series that their chapter’s Racial Justice Circle has supported in the Baltimore area.
The Racial Justice Circle has held "Honest Conversations on Racism" (HCoR) events at 21 Catholic parishes in Baltimore, and its 22nd HCoR event is being held at Ascension Lutheran Church in partnership with the local Lutheran synod. Each HCoR is a four-evening event that ends with a special "covenant service" with parish members.
After the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and many others in 2020, the Racial Justice Circle partnered with St. Matthew Catholic Church and held its first Black Lives Matter rally. Soon after, St. Matthew was joined by Faith Presbyterian Church. Words of the BLM rallies spread quickly. Under the name of Black Lives Matter Interfaith Coalition, the group now has 35 co-sponsors and brings 100 to 150 people to its rallies.
The Racial Justice Circle and Black Lives Matter Interfaith Coalition believe we are called to "make some good trouble" by letting our voices be heard. If not now, when?
