Beacon is excited to engage with important issues within the Asheville community and shine a light so that more people can be involved. This week Jared chats with Fél Marquez, Director of Development for the Asheville Racial Justice Coalition! The Asheville Racial Justice Coalition, or RJC, is a "broad-based alliance of individuals and organizations committed to addressing systemic racism and state-sanctioned violence against Black people and those most impacted by poverty, criminalization, and mass incarceration.” Learn more at their website RJCAVL.ORG and please donate to support their work if you can.
We are thrilled to welcome Fél onto the show and get the latest on the RJC’s critical community work. Listen in as Fél and Jared discuss systemic racism, reparations, and how to bring about change and accountability. This episode is complete with avenues for our listeners and members to get involved, so sit back, enjoy, and if you feel so moved - take action!
