Dignity Collaborative /Racial Equity Book Club

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr says that  “only love can drive out hate”. If we are to realize his dream of the Beloved Community, we will need to begin the process of learning how we truly “love” our neighbor. This is a practical and accessible process that is outlined in our new book read ” How we Show Up” by Mia Birdsong. You can pick up a copy of the book at Rozzie Bound Bookstore in Roslindale Square and join us when it makes sense for you to discuss how we can build community. It will be even more fun if you invite your neighbors! See you on the screen! Email us at rejforumhp1@gmail.com for the Zoom link.

What We're
Reading Now

Join the WFH Book Club

As a Community, we are siloed, divided and lacking a impactful voice to spark change and get positive results.  How do we connect and collaborate?

As a Community we have a large number of leaders – from political, media, business and industry and non profit  who live and work in Hyde Park. How do we collaborate and leverage our access  and resources to have a positive impact in Hyde Park?
