Last summer, PYM created a series of zoom video interviews with members of our community. The videos were part of our addressing racism plenary. These videos are a snapshot in time, and they are a reminder that spoken truth from individuals shape our faith as Friends.
A list of resources were created in July 2020, and since then, the Addressing Racism Collaborative has deepened that work.
We republish the 2020 Annual Sessions list here:
Plenary Session on Addressing Racism
