RACIAL HEALING PROJECT

Thank you to BahaiTeachings.org for the use of this wonderful picture.

Join the Racial Healing Project

The Racial Healing Project is a program operated by Global Marketplace, a non-profit advocate for economic justice. We call this the Racial Healing Project because we believe everyone has some healing to do around the effects of racism.

Thank you to BahaiTeachings.org for the use of this wonderful picture of members of the Baha’i Faith at the Baha’i World Center in Haifa, Israel.

Global Marketplace is dedicated to achieving economic justice for everyone. Prejudice (and in particular racism) is one of the principle reasons many people cannot get a good education and then find productive work.

Our two main initiatives are:

Share Dinner and Discussions on Racial Healing: recently changed to an informal dessert potluck, followed by a discussion/dialogue on race prejudice and race unity. The goals of these monthly meetings are to build relationships with people who don’t look like us and to build support for race unity. We explore several topics more deeply through speaker panels, videos and discussions in a safe, respectful environment where people can share their experiences. Please see the Share Dinner web page for a list of videos that we viewed and discussed over Zoom during the COVID-19 restrictions. In Summer of 2022, we resumed in-person gatherings called Dessert and Discussion gatherings. Please see the Share Dinner web page for dates/locations. We invite you to join us each month!

Conversations on Racial Healing: a series of nine meetings to learn about and to discuss racism and racial bias. The series is designed to provide information on several topics related to race relations and to offer a safe place to voluntarily share your experiences regarding racism. The goals are:

to educate the mind with new facts and research about types of racism
to examine life experiences and share from your heart
to build relationships with other groups so we can support each other’s efforts to accept others without prejudice

We invite you to explore the initiatives that we have developed in the Racial Healing Project! Just click on the links in the drop down menu under the RACIAL HEALING PROJECT tab. On these pages you will also see stories/testimonials from participants and links to books, videos and other resources on race prejudice and race unity.

CrayonsWe could all learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors … but they all have to learn to live in the same box.(Image by nikitabuida on Freepik)

Today, November 25, is Native American Heritage Day. We acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of the first people to settle in America! In Rocklin, CA, we acknowledge that we are living on the ancestral homelands of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe. The tribal boundaries of their traditional homelands extend from the Sacramento River on the west to the crest of the Sierra Nevada, from the North Fork of the Yuba River to the Cosumnes River. The Nisenan people are now a landless tribe that is no longer recognized by the Federal government. You can learn more about their history at the CHIRP website, including their land acknowledgement:We acknowledge:– These are the ancestral homelands of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe.– This land was taken repeatedly with no compensation or regard for the lives and ways of the original people, until they had no land left.– We are settlers here, that we live, love and work on land the Nisenan never ceded.– The sovereignty of the Nevada City Rancheria Nisenan Tribe, despite lack of federal recognition.– Together we can amend the tragic legacy of the past.– We can’t change history but we have the power to change our future.– The Ancestral Homelands Reciprocity Program is a way to begin.

Our vision is to raise visibility and awareness of the Nisenan so all who work and live in the Bear and Yuba River watersheds can come together to honor the original peoples of this land.

Please join us tonight for an evening of learning and discussion of the life and times of D.S. Saund during a time of racial tension in America. What can we learn from his experiences and apply to living in our racial climate today?DVD viewing and discussion about a Sikh man’s arrival in America in 1920 to becoming Judge Saund to Congressman from California in 1957. The early 1920s to 1960s were times of racial separation. Let's explore how Judge Saund overcame it, by watching the video and then in discussion. Kulvinder Singh has information from grandson Eric Saund to share. Our group has a lot to identify with in this man’s life and history. Breaking barriers helps everyone. He was also inspired by Gandhi and Lincoln, like Dr. King was.Join us at 6:30 pm to meet and mingle before the documentary and discussion. Come with questions! Leave with a better understanding of race and politics and how we are all in this together.
