Film Screening and Discussion on FEBRUARY 2 & 13

UNDIVIDE US stands as a beacon of hope and a call to action.

(Social Justice Matters)

In light of the growing divides caused by hot button issues and political unrest, Social Justice Matters, the YMCA, the JCC, the Rotary Club, and the Refugee Assistance Partners will bring the film Undivide Us to our community to help unite us as neighbors and promote civil discourse. The film is non-partisan and does not take sides in any of these cultural issues. This one hour film will be followed by a discussion facilitated by Resolve Community Counseling Center and local community members.

UNDIVIDE US is a timely documentary about the power of gathering at a common table, having difficult and politically nuanced conversations, and realizing we have more in common than we think.

Please join our community for this dynamic and engaging event where we can cultivate change and join as neighbors to “undivide us”.
