Open Gate DEI Forum on Inclusion
On Saturday, June 7, the Open Gate DEI Committee will hold a forum open to all sangha members to discuss Inclusion. We will look at both the desire for inclusion, belonging, and welcoming, and the challenges we face in implementing these. The forum is intended to create a safe space where people can ask questions and be vulnerable, and also to get to know each other better.
The Open Gate DEI Committee has been working for several years to examine and improve our relationship to racism and other forms of identity-based oppression. The committee lists five desired outcomes relating to this, and this forum specifically addresses outcome #2: People who want to be here have a sense of belonging.
Please come to listen and be heard together with your fellow sangha members.
