SOCIAL JUSTICE & DIVERSITY INITIATIVE
The Social Justice and Diversity Initiative (SJDI) at Cambridge Zen Center has been created as a working group open to all community members to reflect on and act towards the goal of creating a welcoming space for every person who walks through our temple doors regardless of age, gender, race, ability, nationality, sexuality, socio-economic status, or criminal record.
Our Mission Statement further details our aspirations as a group, while our Communication Agreements serve as a guideline for how we wish to discuss sensitive topics with an open-mind and heart.
The Unpacking Whiteness Meditation group meets bi-weekly over Zoom on the First and Third Wednesday of the Month. Please check out the Weekly Update for confirmed meeting dates.
