A community forum hosted by Sausalito Books by the Bay and the Sausalito Woman's Club with a panel of authors and civic leaders including:

·     Artist, activist, & educator Orin Carpenter helping people find their voice through ARTivism

·     Physician-writer, bioethicist, and filmmaker Dr. September Williams (Chasing Mercury)

·     Author Yang-Huang (Why I write in English, My Good Son)

·     Sausalito Mayor Jill Hoffman (chair of Racial Justice Ad Hoc Committee)

Although our area is considered liberal in thought and politics, we are not immune to issues of race, racism and white supremacy. The impact of George Floyd's murder, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the recent rise of Asian hate crimes resonated deeply in our own neighborhoods. How has this impacted our local communities and what role do we play in addressing these critical issues? Our panel of diverse Bay Area agents of change will share their insights and experiences and discuss a path forward. Join the discussion; be part of the change.

This is a free, but ticketed event. You must register in advance.
