Women of Color Resource Center Hosts Forum on Richmond Tragedy

Greetings folks,

This is an invitation to both attend and support an upcoming forum on Monday night of next week- 6:30-9:30 pm- at the Women of Color Resource Center in Oakland. We are hosting an open-forum to discuss, make meaning of, and strategize about solutions to address the protections of women, youth, and community members following the tragic rape of a young woman in Richmond last week. We are working to get a facilitator who will join us from a community-based non-violent communication organization which specializes in advocacy for women and girls.

The facilitator comes at a cost of $400 for the evening and we are trying to pull together the funds quickly to be able to hold space for a very important community matter.

Can you please spread the word to friends and colleagues letting them know about this forum, and our need for their urgent support to make sure that the session happens?

Please contact me for more information or if you are able to contribute something. Every little bit will help. The space will be youth friendly as well.

Anisha
