In conjunction with the production of We Are Proud to Present a Presentation…, a profound drama about the little-known first genocide of the 20th century, we are hosting a pre-show Restorative Justice Networking Mixer on Friday, January 17th from 6:00-7:30 PM. This is a free event meant to highlight organizations and individuals from the local community whose work centers on race amity, undoing racism, violence prevention, peace building, trauma, social and restorative justice.
