Women & Migration - Building Bridges Between Black and Brown Communities

BAJI, The Latina Center, Black Women Organized for Political Action (BWOPA), the City of Richmond Human Rights/Human Relations Commission, and the Neighborhood House of North Richmond are collaborating to organize a series of dialogues to address the tensions that exist between the Black and Latino communities. The first session called “Building Bridges Between Black and Brown Communities” took place on June 25.  The second gathering was held on October 29.  Building Bridges is a safe space for the healing and empowerment of women as agents of social change in their communities.
