INITIATIVES
We are forming a Racial Justice Taskforce to identify events in Palisades Presbyterian Church history that either thwarted or facilitated racism. The Taskforce will suggest ways to celebrate events that thwarted racism and atone for events that facilitated it. This taskforce will also determine local organizations to reach out to, to better educate ourselves about racial justice and hate issues still important in our community today. Through this, we hope to form partnerships to work for justice throughout our local community and beyond. An Anti–Racism Mission Fund has been created and donations are earmarked for funding local mission projects related to fighting racism and promoting racial justice. To support us in this initiative please contact the church office. If you’d like to donate, you can do so online: at palpresny.org/give–online.
