Community Dialogues:
Facilitated discussions that are built around people of different backgrounds getting together for the purpose of engaging in candid conversations about the issues of race. These conversations bring together people who may see each other at work or in the community, but who have not been in a dialogue with one another on the topic or race/racism. In small circles, we begin to break down the barriers that racial distance has created. It's Time to Talk: Forums on Race community dialogues are not about building a large organization or developing structured programs. They are about:

• Setting in motion expanded circles of conversation and eventually friendships.
• Understanding one another on a personal level
• Opening up new possibilities for how we can all work together to build a healthier and more cohesive community.
