RG CHAPTER UPDATES
COLORADO
The growing RG Colorado chapter has added a new leader, Molly, who has jumped into her role by hosting a local article discussion event on white supremacy culture characteristics. There was lots of interesting discussion on binary thinking and nuances of communication, as well as time for base-building and forming strong connections. The team also held a MMMC Debriefing event where members spoke on what they had learned at MMMC, and highlighted the different organizations involved, as well as the opportunities and challenges that come with continuing to learn and push ourselves in our redistribution efforts.
CONNECTICUT
The Connecticut chapter is launching our first ever Praxis group! CT is a state known for its pizza, craft beers...and income inequality. The state ranks third in the nation for unequal wealth distribution, with Fairfield County as the most unequal metropolitan area in the nation. We'll be incorporating some local context so if you or someone you know has ties to Connecticut (Yale alums, Wesleyan alums, family in the state etc.) consider joining us to learn more about our weird little state and the issues and opportunities here!
Apply [[link removed]] at www.bit.ly/CTPraxis22 [[link removed]] by 12/15. Groups will run from January to April.
TRIANGLE NORTH CAROLINA
The RG Triangle North Carolina chapter toured Historic Stagville, a state historic site that includes the remnants of the one of the largest plantations in North Carolina, in order to learn and feel the history of slavery, land ownership, and agriculture that has shaped where we live.
