SUMMARY:First Congregational Church & City of Refuge UCC - Ash Wednesday Service
DESCRIPTION:“Ash Wednesday” is a day often observed in quiet contemplation and preparation for the time of Lent. Lent is a time of preparation and observation of Resurrection Sunday\, commercially referred to as “Easter.” \nBy observing the 40 days of Lent\, we acknowledge and try to replicate Christs’ sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert for 40 days. Lent can be observed by fasting\, both from food and various activities or ways of behaving. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 6th at 6:30 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Oakland in observance of Ash Wednesday.  See the flyer included for more details. \nIf you get time\, read or listen to this passage (Isaiah 58:1-12).  It kind of breaks down Isaiah’s understanding of the spiritual practice of fasting: dedication to the work of justice and restoration. \nPeace & love\, \nLay Pastor Marilyn

SUMMARY:Righteous Resistance Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join PICO California for the 2018 Righteous Resistance Symposium\, May 18-19th. \n\nFriday begins at 6pm with FELLOWSHIP + LIVE CONCERT with Sol Development! Gather to celebrate and heal\, across RACE + FAITH + DIFFERENCE. Amazing music with amazing people.\nSaturday begins at 8am with LEARNING + PANELS + BREAKOUTS for skill building around responding to state violence\, racist attacks\, ice raids and organizing through poor peoples campaign\, digital organizing\, and electoral work. It’s FREE\, but we need you to register!\n\nWe face a current political and social climate that continues to belie black humanity – where\, without impunity\, a young black man can be followed into his grandmother’s backyard and shot in the back six times out of the 20 shots fired at him. \nWill we stand on the sideline or will we join the important struggle that Black Americans & many others daily endure to live free from racism\, violence & terror? \nWe believe we are called to lean into a ministry and theology of resistance\, reclaiming the hope and power inherent in our prophetic faiths\, giving us courage and healing for the days ahead. \nThere are many different ways that your congregation and community can enter into solidarity with us. \nThere will be a time of celebration and fellowship\, and training around resisting State Violence\, ICE Raids\, 2018 Election\, Digital Organizing\, and the Poor Peoples Campaign Workshops. \nWe are inviting you to wrestle with the principalities and powers that manifest themselves in racial prejudice\, systemic evil and violence\, and religious apathy and complicity. \nWe need you here; it is our duty to fight for freedom! \nRegister today! Space is Limited. \n(En Espanol Translation provided) \n(Childcare and Food provided)

SUMMARY:Tim Wise on White Privilege: Uprooting Racism\, Privilege and Institutional Inequity Organizer
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln Training Institute is excited to announce that Tim Wise\, prominent anti-racist essayist and educator\, will provide an opportunity to examine what it means to be white in a nation created for the benefit of those who are “white like him\,” and how privilege seeps into every institutional arrangement\, from education to employment to the justice system. \nTim Wise\, whom scholar and philosopher Cornel West calls\, “A vanilla brother in the tradition of (abolitionist) John Brown\,” is among the nation’s most prominent anti-racist essayists and educators. He has spent the past 25 years speaking to audiences in all 50 states\, on over 1000 college and high school campuses\, at hundreds of professional and academic conferences\, and to community groups across the nation. He has also lectured internationally in Canada and Bermuda\, and has trained corporate\, government\, law enforcement and medical industry professionals on methods for dismantling racism in their institutions. \nWise’s antiracism work traces back to his days as a college activist in the 1980s\, fighting for divestment from (and economic sanctions against) apartheid South Africa. After graduation\, he threw himself into social justice efforts full-time\, as a Youth Coordinator and Associate Director of the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism: the largest of the many groups organized in the early 1990s to defeat the political candidacies of white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. \nFrom there\, he became a community organizer in New Orleans’ public housing\, and a policy analyst for a children’s advocacy group focused on combating poverty and economic inequity. He has served as an adjunct professor at the Smith College School of Social Work\, in Northampton\, MA.\, and from 1999-2003 was an advisor to the Fisk University Race Relations Institute in Nashville\, TN. \nWise is the author of seven books\, including his highly-acclaimed memoir\, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son\, as well as Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority\, and his latest\, Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor\, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America. He has contributed chapters or essays to over 25 additional books and his writings are taught in colleges and universities across the nation. His essays have appeared on Alternet\, Salon\, Huffington Post\, Counterpunch\, Black Commentator\, BK Nation\, Z Magazine and The Root\, which recently named Wise one of the “8 Wokest White People We Know.” \n  \nTickets available $35-60\, http://bit.ly/2xEVhJr \nLincoln Training Institute: http://lincolnfamilies.org/
