Take Action on Gun Safety

Senate Bill 6667 provides much needed legislation to enhance the safety of our communities. Please send an email to the Judiciary Committee in support of this bill with an added provision to prohibit fire arms at polling locations. Voters need to be able to exercise the right to vote without fear of violence or threat. The committee must release its Joint Favorable report on any bills they want to be considered by the full house and senate by March 31st, so we must act quickly to let them know we want these bills moved forward.

Thursday, April 13, 2023 - 7:00pm to Thursday, July 6, 2023 - 8:30pm

For many white women, the idea of niceness is ingrained from an early age as a virtue. But what exactly does it mean to be nice? Does it require silence? An avoidance of anything supposedly unpleasant? An uncritical going with the flow?

Join Regina Jackson and Saira Rao, authors of White Women: Everything You Already Know About Your Own Racism and How to Do Better, for deep, honest, unflinching conversation about the culture of niceness as part and parcel of white supremacy. Over four sessions, participants will explore the ways that self-identifying white women deny, defend, and deflect the presence of white supremacy in their everyday lives, and the ways in which they may perpetuate it. Presented by the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, this Salons at Stowe series challenges white women to critically examine their participation in white supremacy as an important step in committing to the work of racial justice.
