Bias is one of our thorniest obstacles to thriving at work and to having an equitable society. It is a topic that No Place for Hate – Falmouth has addressed before through workshops and speakers. We know that if we’re going to end bias, it’ll take an effective strategy. Jessica Nordell offers us one. She tackles unconscious yet pervasive biases we may not realize we have. Her book The End of Bias is the most vital book about what really changes people and cultures.. The New York Times bestselling author Adam Grant said her work on bias was “the single most fascinating and useful exploration of it that I’ve read. Ever.”

Facing Our Racism: Becoming Conscious Partners Workshop
Sunday, July 25, 2021, 12 - 4:30pm EST
Online Via Zoom
RSVP at racismjuly2021.eventbrite.com
Facebook Event
(Registration ends at 11am on the day of, and the Zoom link will be sent right after that.). Suggested Donation: $45
The killing of Daunte Wright, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor galvanized White people to become “conscious partners” with our Black sisters and brothers to end racism. Crucial to this new understanding and awareness is the formation of genuine, open, truthful relationships between Black and White community members. You are invited to take part in a “Facing Our Racism: Becoming Conscious Partners” workshop which analyzes the systemic, institutional, policy, and power-driven persecution and discrimination against Black Americans since the very beginning of slavery. The anniversary of George Floyd's death reminds us that the work to combat racism is far from over.

The Covid-19 pandemic and the disproportionate effect on people of color has magnified our country’s long history of systemic racism and inequality in healthcare. The root causes of poorer health outcomes in people of color go deeper than access to care. This panel discussion will delve into this timely topic and the heightened urgency to finally address racial disparities in healthcare. Learn what actions we can all take to help end systemic healthcare racism. The program will wrap up with an opportunity for your questions.
Panelists: Dr. Vonzella Bryant andShawn Johnson

Sundays at the Village Green
Each Sunday, at noon, we gather at the narrow end of Falmouth’s Village Green to stand or kneel in silence for 8-minutes-and-46-seconds….the amount of time it took to rob George Floyd of his life. Black Lives Matter signs are appropriate and welcome. Our intention is to have this become an ongoing event, regardless of weather, to remind our community of the imperative to understand that Black Lives Matter.
