Please join us at the Second Tuesday Race Forum, held Tuesday September 11th at 7 PM at the Park Hill United Methodist Church at Montview Blvd and Glencoe St. in Denver. Entrance and accessibility information can be found at the bottom of this announcement.

Reflections of Othering

We start off our 2018-19 year with a conversation focusing on personal experiences with “othering.” Based on various social identities we each inhabit, at some point in our lives it is likely that we have been made to feel like an outsider. At the same time, we have been taught (mis)information about our own and other groups that have likely led us to treat others like outsiders. What have we been taught? How have these problematic messages impacted the relationships in our lives? How do we unlearn these messages so that we can build healthy, authentic relationships across social differences? These are some of the many questions we will discuss to bring intersectionality and understanding to the forefront as we kick off the 20th year of STRF.

Please join us!

Accessing the Forum
Please remember to come into the church from the large parking lot on the north side of the church that is accessible off of Glencoe St, that is just east of the church. The door to the church you should use is the one that opens onto that parking lot. If you have passengers with mobility difficulties, you can pull up to that entrance and then park in the lot or on the street. We will be meeting downstairs in the youth lounge this month. Go down the stairs on the right inside the door, or go acorss the ventibule and take the elevaotor in the short hallway to the lower level.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Many of you have heard that Park Hill United Methodist Church is now a sanctuary location with a family currently seeking refuge there.  Security has been enhanced as we continue to be welcomed to use the building for our meetings.  We can only enter the building from the parking lot where someone will be there to open the door for us.  You may not be able to gain access if you are more than 45 minutes late.
