Last fall, Northern Yearly Meeting created a working group to address systemic racism within the yearly meeting and facilitate anti-racist efforts in the wider community. You can find a link to this working group below; their resources focus on promoting anti-racist education and action.

The NYM working group also provided resources to support the Minneapolis protests and wider movement for racial justice, linked below (these resources are community-based and not affiliated with NYM or FGC). 

The meetinghouse will be open on Sunday, March 15, for Meeting for Worship. Cindy will open the meetinghouse, and Kay will be there for childcare.  There will be no First Day lesson.  We encourage people who choose to attend to continue the practice we began last week of greeting each other without touching and of maintaining a social distance during worship. The Forum scheduled for this Sunday, on becoming an anti-racist meeting, will be postponed until April 26.
