Unity Atlanta offers Spiritual Action Group via Zoom focused on promoting diversity discussion

Unity Atlanta’s Spiritual Action Group is reconvening, for every Tuesday evening at 7pm via Zoom.  This season focuses on sacred conversations and discussion on How to be an Antiracist by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi.  Dr. Kendi takes us through a journey from thinking like a racist to acting like an antiracist. 

The first meeting, June 9th, was informational.  Participants were asked to read the book’s introduction and author’s notes in preparation for this first session.  To register and receive the log-in information, email with your full name to SpiritualActionUA@gmail.com

In addition to the weekly zoom discussion on the book, every week Unity Atlanta adds a Call To Action item to put hopes for a more just world into actionable steps.
