In July 2020 a group from CSE came together as a community to engage in self-reflection, education and action to support and to stand in solidarity with those experiencing racism in our community. Out of these conversations grew a need to reach out to our larger community with a much larger conversation.
As a result, we have created a panel discussion, “We Cannot Walk Alone”: Anti-Racism and Allyship which will be held on March 9, 2021 from 6:30 to 8pm Mountain Standard Time. We’ve brought together an amazing group of leaders and educators involved in the work of anti-racism.
-
M. Garlinda Burton – journalist, educator, and justice advocate, serving as Interim General Secretary for the General Commission on Religion and Race of The United Methodist Church
-
Rev. Ken Brown – Senior Pastor, Trinity United Methodist Church, Denver, CO
-
Jordan Lee – sophomore at CU Boulder and content creator for a social media campaign called “Unmask the Racism”
“We Cannot Walk Alone” is a quote from Martin Luther King’s renowned “I Have a Dream” speech which exemplifies our purpose to seek greater connection in the fight to dismantle racism. We hope you will join us for this event and become a part of the global movement of justice and making positive change.
