About this Series
California is a culturally and racially diverse place to live. Many call it home because they can pursue their dreams in a place where free-thinking, spiritual and creative communities thrive. But like a mirage, our communities struggle with systemic racism, too. Landmarks, oral narratives and the video camera in your hand sheds light on decades of state violence, forced displacement and segregation. Collective action is needed.
In 2020, NAACP, Music Changing Live, and JessBeU have joined forces with Compassionate Capital Region and several other community leaders and concerned citizens to host a monthly Day of Healing to address our unresolved histories, acknowledge our predecessors, and come together to address generations of racism and to rebuild trust in our communities.
In 2021, these events will take place quarterly under the new intuitive "Choose Unity 4 Community". We will provide safe dialogue around community social issues to address the pressing concerns our communities are facing. Also practicing mindful movements and meditation together, while having a facilitated sharing circle. The event will be virtual on zoom to protect the health and welfare of all members of our community.
