THE PRAXIS PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENTS
Disaster Justice Learning Circle
Livestream Recording
For the past six months, The Praxis Project, Living Hope Wheelchair Association, and the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee has convened a cohort of community organizers developing a disaster justice framework from a racial justice perspective that includes social and structural disasters and sharing experiences and tools for community based sustainable disaster response and recovery. In our final session, we are invited our community to join us in reflecting on the key principles of disaster justice, particularly as we prepare for the November election and continue to adapt during this pandemic and its challenging social context.
