Speaker Training: October 22 in Oakland

Join us on Tuesday, October 22nd, from 6:30 to 8:30pm in Oakland to have dinner and to learn more about the Intercultural Speakers Bureau (ICSB), a new ING program that promotes inclusive and equitable communities. The ICSB organizes panels of two or more representatives from various religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds to speak about the roots and interconnectedness of various forms of bigotry, concluding with calls to action to counter prejudice and hate while building an inclusive society based on mutual understanding and solidarity. Panels are held in schools, colleges, universities, and other venues. For more information or to register for the training visit this page.
