Join the Coming to the Table community!

You want to make a positive difference in our world, right? It’s painfully clear that racial inequalities loom large in the United States (and around the world). People of color face systemic, structural barriers in education, housing, healthcare, employment, and in the criminal justice system. Every. Single. Day.

When you join Coming to the Table, you are making a commitment to embrace the vision of transforming the United States into a just and truthful society that acknowledges and seeks to heal from the racial wounds of the past — from slavery and the many forms of racism it spawned. You’re finished witnessing injustice and not knowing what to do about it. You’re ready to do what you can to change… yourself and our world. You want to make a difference in your community and in your country.

As a member of Coming to the Table, you become part of a community committed to truth-telling, transformation, and liberation. The CTTT Approach to racial healing is grounded in theories and practices of trauma awareness, conflict transformation, restorative justice, human security, and spirituality; involving four inter-related practices: Uncovering History, Making Connections, Working Toward Healing, and Taking Action.

When you incorporate the CTTT Approach into your life and your work in your community, you’ll know you’ve done your best to confront racism and injustice. You’ll build authentic, accountable relationships with people you’ve been raised to see as “the other” and you’ll work together to transform and liberate yourself and others, one heart and soul at a time.

 

CTTT changes people. Changed people change the world.

As stated above, there is no Membership Fee required to join Coming to the Table, but the funds needed for CTTT to operate – the ability “to provide leadership, resources, and a supportive environment for all who wish to acknowledge and heal wounds from racism that is rooted in the United States’ history of slavery” – depend on the generous financial support of our members.
