Let’s Talk About Juneteenth

Written on:

Juneteenth, the oldest African-American holiday, may also be the most ambigious holiday ever. So Let’s Talk About Juneteenth with Moorestown, New Jersey’s Ashlynn Conley, a co-founder of the town’s Juneteenth celebration. Let’s talk about an event that encourages us to celebrate – but also to educate ourselves, and to agitate, in the face of ongoing inequality. Join Moorestown Friends Meeting’s Anti-Racism Committee on Thursday 16 June at 7:30pm on Zoom to explore a weighty history and an invigorating promise. Then join the ARC and our neighbors at the celebration itself on Saturday 18 June at the Perkins Center in Moorestown, 395 King’s Highway.

Let’s Talk About Healing Justice

Written on:

How do we keep our neighbors and communities safe? How does our current approach to crime, prosecution and punishment work for different Americans? Can we make it better? Lewis Webb, Jr., a graduate of Brooklyn Law School, has worked with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office and the New York City Department of Corrections. Today, he focuses on mitigating paths to incarceration, lowering barriers for people leaving the carceral system, and improving police/community relations as Healing Justice Program Coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee. An engaging speaker, Lewis offers a hopeful vision of how we can create a justice system that heals communities, and protects and serves us all. Moorestown Friends Meeting’s Anti-Racism Committee welcomes you to join the discussion via Zoom on Thursday 19 May at 7:30pm; click here or call 646-558-8656 and enter meeting ID 873 3565 8140 to join the conversation.

Let’s Talk About How We Share Our Witness

Written on:

How do you share your witness? Braver Angels, a nationwide effort to promote civil dialogue, has some suggestions for how anti-racists can have better conversations with those who do not share their views. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by conversations on race, join Moorestown Friends Meeting’s Anti-Racism Committee for a conversation about building respectful, inclusive conversations. Join us on Thursday 5 May at 7:30pm. All are welcome; please click here or call 646-558-8656 and enter meeting ID 815 8781 6369 to join the conversation.
