SOPHIA Implicit Bias Training
Have you heard of the phrase "implicit bias" but don't know what that means? Do you want to learn how implicit bias plays a role in our daily interactions? This is an opportunity to answer those questions! SOPHIA, along with the WISDOM Implicit Bias Training Team, will be hosting an Implicit Bias Training on March 27th from 10:00am - 1:00pm via Zoom. Please register in advance for this event by filling out this form: http://bit.ly/SOPHIAImplicitBias. The Zoom link will be sent via email to all who register a couple of days prior to the training. If you have any questions, please email Elissa at lissawatson@gmail.com.
Social Justice Community Calendar
SOPHIA has officially launched a collaborative Social Justice Community Calendar! We worked together with Plowshare in Downtown Waukesha and additional organizations in Waukesha County will be invited to participate over the next couple of months. It is hoped that this will serve as a way for individuals interested in participating in social justice education and/or advocacy events and opportunities to find out when those are happening. Please bookmark or save the link to this calendar and check back often as new events will be added!
Anti Racism Change Team at United UU Congregation of Waukesha
One of our members, the United UU Congregation of Waukesha, has an Anti Racism Change (ARC) Team that has begun facilitating the development of a community group in Waukesha similar to Tosa Together (www.tosatogether.org). They hope the community group will be a true reflection of Waukesha with people of all ages, ethnicity and walks of life. Their meetings are currently set for the third Wednesday of the month from 5 to 6pm on Zoom. If BIPOC would feel more comfortable and safe during the meetings, a separate "room" will be provided with privacy assured. If you would like to attend or would like more information, please email Marcia Romashko at owasseh@yahoo.com. Until the group decides on a name, look for their meetings listed as "Equity and Inclusion" on their calendars and publicity. Here is a link to their website and Facebook page.

WISDOM will be hosting a variety of different events related to the Wisconsin State Budget over the next couple of months. Check out their website for information including the topics, dates, times and how to register.
