The Commission to Dismantle Racism and Discrimination will host racial healing circles to explore the power of nature to heal and the harm that environmental racism has done to the earth and its people:

• Earth Day, April 22, 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Arnold House on the campus of Grace Episcopal Church, 100 Genesee Street in Lockport, New York. The theme of this circle is healing the earth. This circle is an opportunity to discuss environmental racism and how to repair the harm it has caused to earth and its people. A light lunch will follow the circle.

Each circle can accommodate 20 people and is free to attend. To reserve a spot, email the Rev. Deacon Diana Leiker and put RHC 4/22 in the subject line.
