Dismantling Racism initiative kicks off today

Dismantling Racism Service Lament Square

United Methodist Church leaders will launch a plan of action to galvanize church members and others to actively stand against racism in the wake of the death of George Floyd and protests across the U.S.

The “Dismantling Racism: Pressing on to Freedom” initiative is a multi-level effort throughout the church to initiate a sustained and coordinated effort to dismantle racism and promote collective action to work toward racial justice.

The church-wide effort will kick off today, June 19th, to coincide with Juneteenth, the commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S.  An announcement from members of the United Methodist Council of Bishops will be broadcast at 11 a.m. Central Time on UMC.org/EndRacism and on The United Methodist Church’s Facebook page.
