Cultivating Compassion Session 11: Practice - Reparations
2023-11-30 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Chicago) | Online
The NT-NL Public Witness Team for Peace & Justice are partnering with the United States Christian Leadership Organization (USCLO), Charter for Compassion Social Justice Sector, and Kairos + Collaborative to offer this set of FREE online episodes and practice sessions to help Make This Your Year to Cultivate Compassion!
“You’re invited to spend 2023 growing compassion for yourself, your friends, and even those who today you might describe as enemies. We’ll interrogate our emotions, reasoning, decision-making, and more as we work to join the infinite game of building peace.”
Access the full list of episodes and sessions here.

Specifically about this November 30 session:
We’ve built skills for feeling and thinking and hearing. In this practice session, we apply those skills to discuss affirmative action and reparations. We reflect on our experiences with See No Stranger, Unsettling Truths, and A People’s History to ask, “What can we do to right the wrongs of the past? And whether we can right them, do we want to?” These are hard questions and the path to a world where everyone thrives lies in working on them.
