Our Village Square will resume virtually with an opportunity for us to share how we are doing and what our community can mean for us while we remain sheltered in place.
Last month we checked in with each other. It was good to see so many of us and hear how we each are responding to the “perfect storm" Now it is time to connecting/reflecting together around the events of the day. Please note the change in time: 4:30 (I am suggesting an earlier time to allow participants time for dinner. We’ll see how this works!)

TOPIC What have you witnessed, what are your reflections around: The evolving aspects stemming from the 2-month long protest movement and our government’s response?

Obama chose to use his eulogy for John Lewis to make a call for action and an interesting NYT op-ed from the President of the Ford Foundation asked 'Are you willing to give up your privilege?'
