Neighbor to Neighbor: Building Alliances Across Cultures

Sat, August 9th
1-4pm
Reeves Center Community Room
2000 14th St, NW 2nd flr

For many years, Latinos, African Americans, and people of African descent have lives in the same communities, residing in the same apartment buildings, working the same types of jobs and sharing the same American struggle!

Yet too often our language, nationality, and ethnicity is used by those who benefit from divided communities to prevent us from coming together to fight common challenges and bring about positive change for everyone.

Join us for a dialogue to examine what divides us, analyze the root causes of division, and share tools that you can use in your community to build unity!

Organized by Empower DC, the Latino Economic Development Corporation, and DC Jobs with Justice Black-Brown Alliance
