[close] The Great Falls College MSU Weaver Library in partnership with the Great Falls YWCA is proud to offer the first racial equity book discussion series. During our first meeting in May, we discussed the book 'White Privilege' and decided to continue reading and discussing other books to continue to expand our knowledge and perspectives. Please join us for this open, inclusive and at times, helpfully uncomfortable journey.

[close] DC SAFE is the only 24/7 bilingual crisis intervention agency for domestic violence in Washington, DC. Our mission is to ensure safety and self-determination for survivors of domestic violence through emergency services, court advocacy, and system reform. Our Advocates support nearly 8,000 survivors annually, leading city-wide programs that are essential to the District’s public safety infrastructure. Systems reform has always been central to our mission. We work with DC systems every day to ensure that survivors are treated with fairness and respect. We believe that our community has a unique and important perspective on racial equity, systemic reform, and alternatives to justice. Our goal in launching this book club is to create community engagement, spark conversations, and learn from each other. We will recommend a relevant book each month with one or more discussion prompts. We encourage everyone to submit recommendations!
