Come join us as we take the next step in moving from Land Acknowledgments to Action. CPJ’s new resource tool, the “From Land Acknowledgements to Action: A Roadmap”, is participatory and interactive and holds the wisdom from interviews conducted with over 40 people involved with Canadian churches and faith communities working on issues of Indigenous justice.
Register to join John Olthuis, Lori Ransom, and Mackenzie Graham, some of our country’s strongest voices in Indigenous justice, as we reflect on the journey so far, envision where reconciliation is calling us next, and explore a practical resource to help us move from acknowledgement to action.
