It will actually set us free
As efforts swirl arouind our state to re-write history, many people of faith want to stand up for the truth. Racism has been a huge factor in every part of America's life since before our founding. If we ever want to fix it, we have to first of all recognize that it is real. And we need to stand up to those who would change reality.
That is why I invite you to join us for "Taking a Faithful Stance for Equity".

Many of us are troubled by current efforts to paper over racism, to pretend that we don't have a problem, and to leave things as they are. But we need to be more than troubled: we need to act.
On Monday you can learn what other communities have done. You can join people from around the state, as WISDOM joins with the Wisconsin Council of Churches, Faith Voices for Justice and others, and learrn about the very concrete things you can do to stand up for equity and an anti-racist future.
We need to learn not just to defend against the current attacks, but to be proactive in promoting an agenda for our schools and communities that match our values. There are those who apparently think that white people are too fragile to cope with the history of what others of our race have done to oppress others. Rev. Walter Lanier of MICAH suggests that we need to let our school boards and other elected officials know that we CAN handle the truth. As a matter of fact, it will set us free.
