multiracial action taking communities

An invitation to shape a work in progress…

Imagine Christians supporting BIPOC leaders in their work of racial healing and justice. Imagine multiracial communities being together in ways that nurture healing and liberation. Imagine expressions of shalom in Greater Boston and glory given to God.

RCCI is developing a multiracial action taking community for Christians who desire to take practical steps to contribute to the dismantling of racism. We are looking for justice-loving BIPOC folks and white folks who are cohort alum or have commensurate experience.

We envision this group taking collective action to support equity building, BIPOC-led initiatives. This action would be supported by training, reflection, and fellowship as well as race-specific support and accountability that increases folks capacity to collaborate effectively across racial lines.

We are in the process of developing this group and aim to pilot it in fall 2023.

We need your help to make this a reality. We are currently looking for…

  • Thought partners to speak into our vision and implementation

  • Participants who are willing to join us on the journey and learn as we go

  • Justice-loving churches who are willing to help spread the word about action opportunities and/or provide spiritual and emotional support to BIPOC participants

  • BIPOC leaders who will allow us to follow their lead and support their work of shalom-building as they see fit

To connect about a specific idea or opportunity, email Megan at mlietz@egc.org. To be made aware of next steps and action opportunities, join our mailing list below.

We are currently piloting this action taking group in an inter-ministry context, but are excited to develop this program for existing organizations as well.
