The Presiding
Officers' Advisory Group on Beloved Community Implementation is pleased
to announce the availability of grants to address the racial disparities
laid bare by the coronavirus pandemic and for groups responding to
racist violence and policing reform.
Across America,
COVID-19 is disproportionately affecting people of color in terms of
health outcomes, access to testing and treatment, safe work
environments, and more. At the same time, many recognize the pandemic
of ongoing violence directed against black people and other people of
color, especially at the hands of law enforcement personnel in
communities in the Americas and beyond.
All proposed
projects must demonstrate adherence to relevant local, diocesan and
state public health guidelines for gathering and interaction. More
information about the criteria and the application process are available here. Learn more about the Church's work on Becoming Beloved Community here, and see resources for "Responding to Racist Violence and Police Brutality" here.
