Peace & Justice Center's Panel on Racial Justice Work in Vermont

Description

This webinar/panel is scheduled in conjunction with the George Floyd protests in order to give protesters a next step. It is moderated by PJC Board Member Jayna Ahsaf and features UVM student activist Harmony Edosomwan. Panelists include representatives from organizations and groups that are doing racial justice work in Vermont. Each panelist gives an overview of what their group does and how YOU can get involved.
