Part 2! Join us for this great conversation! Vaccination rates in Black and Brown communities are lower than other communities. We need to talk about the barriers that are keeping those rates lower: Racial inequity, lack of transportation, diverse languages - and how we can overcome those barriers so that we can complete the race to immunity.

A workshop in Spanish from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles - OPEN TO ALL Un taller en español de la Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles - ABIERTO A TODOS. El Racismo en la Comunidad Hispana... Durante el año 2020 nuestro país vivió tensiones raciales, que aunque siempre habían estado presentes, se manifestaron en niveles verdaderamente preocupantes. El Papa Francisco nos recuerda que no podemos tolerar ni cerrar los ojos ante ningún tipo de racismo o exclusión. También nos pide orar por la reconciliación y la paz nacional. Ante tal llamado, hemos invitado a María del Mar Muñoz-Visoso, directora ejecutiva del Secretariado de Diversidad Cultural en la Iglesia de la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos (USCCB) para que facilite una serie de tres conferencias y diálogos que aborden el tema del racismo en nuestras comunidades Hispanas. Fechas: Martes 12, 19 & 26 de Enero, 2021 de 6:30-8:30pm
