FREE Morning Book Launch Party, Hosted by Kit Miller

Join Kit Miller, Director Emeritus of the MK Gandhi Institute from 2009 until 2021, in celebrating Sarah Peyton and Roxy Manning’s new antiracism book series! Our morning launch celebration runs from 8 AM – 9:30 AM PDT, and features a sneak peek into Roxy’s new books, How to Have Antiracist Conversations: Embracing Our Full Humanity to Challenge White Supremacy and The Antiracist Heart: A Self-Compassion and Activism Handbook, co-authored by Sarah.

Attending the book event enters you into a chance to win free, signed copies of both books. (For two chances to win, come to both sessions!)

Kit will take us through an introduction to the work of Roxy Manning and Sarah Peyton, then we’ll hear more about the books from the authors, explore activities from the book as a community, have a Q+A and closing. We hope you will join us!

>> Registering for this event will register you for all free events in August’s AntiRacist Books Launch Week Experience.  We’ll send you notifications about the events, including how to join, and you’ll also be added to Sarah and Roxy’s mailing lists. You can unsubscribe at any time.
