Examining Implicit Bias - a Zoom Presentation

"Got Implicit Bias?" Odds are that you, and the people in your lives, are learning that we live in a society that was built to benefit some and oppress others. That can bring up feelings of guilt and confusion for many people. How can it not?

But we at Central Iowa Center for Independent Living are here to tell you that there's nothing wrong with you and, during this presentation, we'll introduce you to the Simple Steps to Creating an Inclusive Community!

This event is being held via Zoom. It is by donation, with all proceeds collected being sent to Des Moines Black Lives Matter. We will email Zoom information out to registered attendees prior to the event. Donations can be sent to PayPal Account info@sacredhealthdsm.com. Please include a note that it is for BLM:DSM!
