"Our long-tern commitment to racial justice and reconciliation is embedded in our identity as baptized followers of Jesus. We will still be doing it when the news cameras are long gone."

Black History for a New Day
February 1 - March 29 | 7:00pm-9:00pm
Over the past several years, St. Andrew's has had nearly 40 individuals complete Justified Anger's Black History for a New Day. If you have not participated in this course before, please consider joining us. If the cost prohibits your participation, please let Fr. Andy or Mtr. Melesa know.
This course is a complement to the other great programs that address racism in our community. This is a great way to become involved as an ally in Justified Anger's efforts to reduce racial disparities and bring about healing. This course is also a meaningful entry point for whatever cross-cultural work you want to do to make Madison a better place.
This is more than a “volunteer training.” Rev. Alex Gee puts it this way: ”We need white allies to move beyond merely helping our black kids – we need allies who will help teach their own kids as well so that one day they will be able to work together with our kids in righting the wrongs of history.”
We want your help in our programs: tutoring, advocating at school hearings, supporting formerly incarcerated individuals, volunteering in after-school activities, preparing meals, coaching athletics, teaching art and design, etc.
However, we also really need your advocacy in the broader community–your ability and willingness to speak out when you see disparities, and to challenge the everyday acts and systems that perpetuate inequality in your workplaces and daily lives.
