This program, originally developed in Richmond, Virginia by the First Unitarian Univeralist Church and their community partners, has now gone national. It centers around a personal pledge that participants make to do their part in the collective effort to end racism. The Living the Pledge workshops offer participants—BIPOC and white people alike—the tools to confront racism, wherever it lives.
