Throughout the past two years of NJPAC’s Standing in Solidarity virtual conversation series, the participants have examined tough topics, discussed possible solutions and taken action in the communities of influence. What made these conversations so moving, useful, insightful and effective was the public’s participation.

Now, NJPAC invites you and other Standing in Solidarity participants to join for an in-person Racial Healing Circle.

What’s a Racial Healing Circle?

It’s an opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to reflect and share in the same room. A safe place for real talk. A model for building mutual understanding. A revelation that we have more in common than we think.

The experience is simple and unintimidating. You’ll have a conversation with a partner, and then with a larger group. You don’t need to bring anything other than your authentic self and an open spirit of participation.
