Dimensions of Diversity

(US/Pacific)

Are you or your Meeting in the process of learning about the many dimensions of diversity we experience? The NPYM Care Committee has made resources available at this link. The Committee is offering online sessions over the spring to discuss the content that is linked there and explore its application to the life of Meetings, Worship Groups, and NPYM as a whole, including avoiding microaggressions. The last session in the series will be held:
• Saturday, May 17, 10 am to noon. Non-binary awareness, transgender and LGBTQ+ inclusion. Led by Theo Mace. Register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/EkalrchoRXG8ngUmBIao6Q#/registration
