Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit

The Summit Planning Committee got together to reflect on last February's event, and look forward to planning next year's. If you'd like to be part of planning an annual Racial Justice Conference, join us at the Volunteer Cookout & Potluck to learn more!

Volunteer Cookout & Potluck, Saturday, July 25th, noon to 2:00PM, in the Bartlett Shelter in Schenley Park.

Link with more info is in the comments.

Are you a past volunteer at the February Summit who'd like to catch up? Have you thought about volunteering at the Summit? Come to the Volunteer Cookout & Potluck! It's Saturday, July 25th, noon to 2:00PM.

We'll have meat and veggie options on the grill, and buns and condiments. Come have some lunch! We'll be in the Bartlett Shelter in Schenley Park. It's on the east side of the park, on Bartlett Street, next to the Bartlett Playground.

What is a place of public accommodation? Any public place, business, resort, recreation or amusement. The City of Pittsburgh ordinance (Chapter 659.04) protects you from illegal discrimination because of your ancestry, citizenship or immigration status, color, disability, gender identity or expression, protective and cultural hair textures/styles and head coverings, national origin, place of birth, preferred language, race, religion, s*x, or s*xual orientation.

Did you miss the 28th Annual Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit in February? The interactive workshops weren't recorded, but we did stream the speakers, panels and music in the auditorium!

Thank you to the Opportunity Fund -- your generous partnership made this year's Summit possible!

At lunchtime, between the morning and afternoon of serious workshops, this year the Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit had a Justice Jam open mic!
