WES’s Working for Racial Equity team has been working with getting a new agenda planned and a new approach to the WRE group. Rachel Alexander and Laura Bradshaw have created a program that will meet monthly at WES. Drop in to any (or all!) of our WRE Talk & Teach Topics to learn with and from each other. T&T Topics will be held on the 4th Sunday of the month in the Social Hall @ 1:00 (or after last platform).
