We recognize that there are differences of opinion in our community about how to pursue justice. Beth Shalom is creating a racial justice coordinating team to learn together and plan: how we can contribute individually and collectively to be part of the movement creating equitable community with love and racial justice as part of our core values? If you are interested in joining the team, or would like to be on the mailing list to stay updated, please contact CBS Racial Justice.
