Black Lives Matter -- Learn & Take Action for April 2021 #2
All of us feel called to do something to change our racist society, but we have little time. These twice a month Black Lives Matter Learn & Take Action emails give us a concrete way to learn something and then do something. This short commitment of time and energy encourages you to make a difference.
