Courageous Conversations
Join us the 4th Monday of month for a conversation. Courageous Conversations explores issues of race in Rock County. Topics are selected each month based on current events and the issues people of color are currently facing both locally and nationwide.
The conversations are moderated by members of YWCA Rock County’s racial justice team as well as members of the Diversity Action Team of Rock County.
Courageous Conversations are currently being held virtually via Zoom. Courageous Conversations is held the fourth Monday of each month from 6:00pm – 7 pm. The event is free to attend, but registration is required.
(Please note, Courageous Conversations will be recorded and placed online. Members of the media are also invited to attend. If members of the media are present, an announcement will be made at the beginning of the meeting.)
June’s Courageous Conversation will take place IN-Person for the first time since COVID. This progressive conversation around Rock County’s history was started in February, continued in March, and will have the chance to transcend from history to present as we discuss Transformative Justice. Transformative justice (TJ) is a framework for responding to violence and harm without relying on state punishment, such as police or prisons. We gather to discuss possible steps our community can take in transforming to a more equitable, anti-racist environment.
