Illinois State House District 56 issued the following announcement on July 30
This League of Women Voters chapter is excited to announce Anger To Action: Implicit Bias Training-- Moving from the narrative to the mechanism, scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2020, from 7 to 8:30 pm featuring Dr. Destiny Peery as facilitator. A program of this caliber generally costs at least $50 per participant. They are only able to offer this program at no cost due to the generous support of Community Consolidated School District 21. Further, support from The Buffalo Grove Community Foundation and several private donors means we will also be offering this program interpreted to American Sign Language and are exploring the possibility of having the program translated to Spanish, Polish, and Russian.
PRE-REGISTRATION FOR THIS PROGRAM IS REQUIRED. Please follow this link to register and commit to attending.
