Book to Action: Community Impact Panel
Join us as we wrap up Book to Action 2021 for a conversation about the impact and insights community members experienced reading Isabel Wilkerson's book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
After, learn about local organizations working on racial equity, diversity, and inclusion, how you can become involved, and ways to take action. This panel will be educational and focused on letting attendees know about resources and organizations including:
- National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
- Monterey County Administrative Office
- National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI)
- Whites for Racial Equity (WRE)
- Coalition for Asian Justice (CAJ)
