In July ERUUF’s White Awareness Group will offer a 30 Day Racial Equity Challenge as a learning space for white people who are committed to leaning into the work of dismantling racism and white supremacy. In this challenge participants will learn what it means to be anti-racist, how to identify and dismantle our biases, what it means to center people of color and be an effective ally, and will make plans to continue to lean into this ongoing work for racial justice.

Welcome Home Boxes for Returning Residents
The Welcome Home Project is an initiative from Durham's Innovation Team in partnership with the Local Reentry Council, Religious Coalition for a Non-Violent Durham, and Durham Congregations in Action. The project offers peer support and a box of essentials to residents returning to Durham from state prison. The program helps orient people to the resources available in our community, provides social and emotional support, and illustrates that we want returning residents to succeed in reentry.
