Our hosts
Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Princeton, Racial Justice Task Force (RJTF)
The RJTF promotes racial justice and multiculturalism and acts to eliminate oppression and racism within ourselves, our congregation and in our communities. The range of work includes a congregational statement to denounce racism and pledge to work to eliminate racism; to congregation wide education; and to partnerships with groups that are involved in anti-racism work in our local communities and state. See http://www.uuprinceton.org/about-justice.
Not in Our Town Princeton
Not in Our Town Princeton is a multi-racial, multi-faith group of individuals who stand together for racial justice and inclusive communities. Our organization’s mission is to promote the equitable treatment of all, and to uncover and confront white supremacy, a system that manipulates and pits all races and ethnicities against each other. Our programs, including monthly presentations and conversations, are listed on our website niotprinceton.org.
