Racial Justice Ministry
We believe that Racism can be both blatant and subtle, individual and systemic. We reject Racism's declaration that some people inherently have less value than others. We are committed to finding, naming, and opposing Racism wherever we find it, including within ourselves.
Racial Justice Ministry
KUMC's Racial Justice Ministries aims to educate and eliminate Racism in our immediate community and beyond. This group meets often to discuss current issues, plan events, and promote those programs in our area that speak to unity and equality for all.

ALLY TRAINING
You're Not There, Yet
RACIAL JUSTICE GROUP
It is tempting to believe that we have already arrived. We aren't there, yet. Being an ALLY requires training.
Ally Training Includes:
SELF WORK
Being an ALLY requires doing Self-Work to learn implicit biases and surprising advantages.
ADVOCACY
Being an ALLY requires using one's voice to Advocate for Justice in some way.
FREINDSHIP
Being an ALLY requires building Friendships with people of another race.
EDUCATION
Being an ALLY requires learning about Systemic Racism and the Black Experience in the United States.
JOIN THE RACIAL JUSTICE GROUP
Our Vision:
To train a community of Racial Justice ALLIES who live out that vision in their everyday lives.
We will plan opportunities for Self-Work, Advocacy, Friendship, and Education.
