Join us for Building Bridges, a transformative event dedicated to fostering racial healing and equity within New Orleans' diverse and dynamic workforce. This gathering will bring together employers and leaders from key sectors—hospitality, education, environmental, and non-profit—to engage in open, honest, and collaborative conversations about how to address racial disparities, promote inclusivity, and create lasting change in
our communities and workplaces. Through facilitated dialogue, participants will explore the unique challenges
and opportunities each sector faces in advancing racial justice. Together, we will share best practices, identify actionable strategies, and build a collective vision for a more equitable and inclusive New Orleans.

The Dharma of Being Antiracist is an intensive class created by Reverend Liên Shutt, a Zen Buddhist priest with a social work background who combines Zen with Insight teachings to make Buddhist teachings accessible to all, particularly BIPOC and oppressed groups in the Western Convert Buddhist world. Co-teaching this iteration of DBA in 2025 with Willie Mukei Smith and Dawn Haney, students will be studying the Engaged Eightfold Path, Rev. Liên's own framing of the Buddhist Eightfold Path developed over years of teaching in diverse spaces. Through the framework of this path, students will learn to recognize their racial conditioning through heart-mind trainings and practice antiracism that is not as an external concept, but as an embodied cultivated path of Buddhist non-harming. The core text will be Rev. Liên's book "Home is Here: Practicing Antiracism with the Engaged Eightfold Path" which includes exercises, meditations, and real-world examples of how to engage with difficult and charged scenarios, particularly for BIPOC, Asian Diaspora, and Queer folx. Students who are interested in the program are asked to attend at least 10 out of the 12 live class sessions in order to create a safe and brave group dynamic and reap the benefits of the intensive self-reflection based curriculum. Registration is by February 10th! The series is from February 17th to May 12th, meeting weekly on Monday nights. All classes are conducted online through Zoom. There are readings and homework assigned before classes that students will be expected to complete for maximum engagement with the course material. The class is welcome to all BIPOC, all Asian American/Diaspora, and white folx. There will be affinity groups to foster deeper and braver spaces. No one is turned away for lack of funds. Please share this offering with your network!

Join us for 5 minutes privately or on zoom at 4 pm EST to pray for Krystal Denise Clark. Krystal Clark is an inmate at the Michigan Department of Corrections. Her inmate number is #435064, but God has a number for her too. And it is not to be taken lightly!

Krystal has suffered through major health issues and medical neglect over the past 14 years and now that she is speaking up and out, retaliation. Currently, she has been cut off from all correspondence and calls after SHE was attacked by another inmate. While we continue to fight for her release and ultimate freedom from the outside, we call on the power of corporate prayer and fervent thoughts and meditation on her safety and sanity over the next week. This link has her story and website:

On August 28, 1963, in his speech, "I Have A Dream," Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr called for civil and economic rights, and an end to racism in America. He later admitted that his dream had turned into a nightmare, and 62 years later the nightmare continues for many of us.
