Whether you were quiet or vocal there's a good chance you began 2022 regretting what you didn't say over the holiday.

From racism and social justice to vaccines and climate change there is a lot to talk about, but the things we wish and need to say are often left unspoken. How do you communicate hard truth without causing offense? How do you call out offense when the response is defense? How do you make a repair when there's already been so much hurt? Is any of this even possible these days? The truth is, there is no escaping these tough conversations, but there may be a way to have them with less regret. Let's make a resolution to say what we haven't said. Join Dr. Anica, in partnership with BPC4BLM for this incredible online event that brings together our neighbors from Downtown Manhattan. It's all happening on Sunday, January 30th at 4pm! Register today!--suggested donation of $20

In 2021, Downtown Manhattan consists of diverse and thriving neighborhoods spanning from the East River and Wall Street financial districts to the dreamy Hudson River park expanses. It is hard to imagine how it all began, yet we must ask how those injuries of the past influence the racial, educational, political, and economic disparities of 2021. Even though we were not alive in those early times, what responsibility do we have as benefactors of that cruelty? How are we to use our racial, and economic privilege to address the damage done to targets of racial inequity? What are we to do now to make our world more just? Let's talk about it!

In honor of Black History Month it's all happening on Saturday, February 27th at 4pm ! Register today!--suggested donation of $20

You've seen videos of civil unrest, felt the sadness of life lost due to prejudice, and heard cries for racial justice echoed across the nation in 2020. But for many of us downtown, what we know about the history of race does not always match up with our experiences in the everyday. Does race really influence everything? Or is it just an easy excuse for some? Let's talk about it! Join Dr. Anica, in partnership with BPC4BLM for this incredible online event that brings together our diverse neighbors from all over BPC.
