    • Understanding Racism and Civil Unrest

Race and Privilege Parent Alliance                       (RAPPA)

RAPPA is an inclusive collection of parents, from independent, parochial and public schools, interested in pursuing a greater understanding of anti-bias awareness, cultural competency and social justice. Everyone is welcome.

​Founded upon the principles set forth by The People's Institute for Survival & Beyond, RAPPA strives to build an effective movement for social transformation. PISAB helps individuals and communities move beyond the symptoms of racism to undoing the causes so as to create a more just and equitable society.

"Undoing Racism = Organizing for Equity and Justice for All". 

​RAPPA meets the first Thursday of every month, from October to April. Everyone is welcome. Bring a friend and a snack.

This group will address and think about:
  • How do race and privilege affect children in school?
  • How can we address and focus on the issues of race in our communities as well as acknowledge the multiple identities of people of color?
  • Why are discussions about race important for ALL students?
  • How can parents work with their schools to create more inclusive communities for families?
  • How can parents best communicate with schools and become allies with educators in order to improve student success?
  • How can we promote cultural competency in our communities?
  • How to support each other and  work collectively to raise our own awareness?
  • How best to increase the cultural competency of our children?
