SUMMARY:Way of the Cross for Justice - 2022
DESCRIPTION:Join in this Good Friday pilgrimage connecting the suffering of Jesus with the suffering brought about by injustice in our day. Friday\, April 15\, 2022 at 12:00 PM. \nThe event begins at noon at the National Underground Freedom Center where there will be a 30 minute prayerful gathering and instructions for next steps. Afterwards\, all are invited to follow the route of the Cincinnati Bell Connector (streetcar) and read the reflections that pair with the corresponding Connector stop. The closest stop can be found at The Banks – on Second St. between the Freedom Center and Great American Ball Park. \nReflections can be read online on your phone\, or from a handout given at the Freedom Center. New this year – you can listen to the reflections pre-recorded via podcast! Be sure to bring headphones with you to listen along on the streetcar. For a print friendly version of the reflection\, click here. \nA few notes: \n\nIt is free to ride the Connector’s 3.6-mile loop.\nBicycles\, wheelchairs and strollers can be taken onto the Connector.\nThe Connector comes every 12 minutes. Depending on the size of our group\, you may need to wait for another Connector so there is enough room.\nWe have made suggestions of locations where you can get off the Connector to pray through the reflection in the space and even walk to the next stop a short distance away. This is optional.\nYou are welcome to walk\, bike\, or drive along the Connector route if you prefer.\n\nAt the end\, we invite you to return to the Freedom Center with your ribbon to write a statement of hope – in anticipation of the resurrection – and attach it to the cross\, creating a tree of life from this symbol of death. Individuals will be welcomed back to the Freedom Center as they return\, we will not have a formal gathering of the full group. A member of the team will remain at the Freedom Center with the cross until 2:00 PM. \n  \nThank you to our supporters: \nBellarmine Chapel\nChrist Church Cathedral\nClifton United Methodist Church\nCongregation of Divine Providence\nGod Space Community\nImmaculate Heart of Mary Parish\nIntercommunity Justice and Peace Center (IJPC)\nRenting Partnerships \nPlease help spread the word to your network. Linked is a Way of the Cross – Flyer and the event Facebook page. \nQuestions? Allison@IJPCcincinnati.org or 513-864-5784

SUMMARY:Race and Racism in Cincinnati:  A 3-Part Docuseries
DESCRIPTION:Race and Racism in Cincinnati\, a 3-part docuseries\, is the telling of Cincinnati’s history from the racial margins\, a history that is not often told in school curriculums or in mainstream (white) culture. This virtual tour is an evolution of our physical “Race and Racism in Cincinnati” bus tour\,  which launched during October\, 2019 and halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This video series shares a people’s history that places storytelling authority in the hands of common people\, rather than political leaders or other narrative leaders who have crafted narratives to benefit their agenda. \nThis series features three separate hour-long videos that each tackle a different time span\, starting from Cincinnati’s birth and bringing us to the present day. Each viewing will be followed by a discussion session. \nRegister here. \nVirtual Screening Times: \n\nPart 1\n\nThursday\, September 23rd\, 7:00pm – 9:00pm\nSaturday\, September 25th\, 10:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\nPart 2\n\nThursday\, October 14th\, 7:00pm – 9:00pm\nSaturday\, October 16th\, 10:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\nPart 3\n\nThursday\, November 4th\, 7:00pm – 9:00pm\nSaturday\, November 6th\, 10:30am – 12:30pm\n\n\n\nFor questions or to discuss organizational or large group showings please contact Bekky at bekky@IJPCcincinnati.org.

SUMMARY:Way of the Cross for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a re-imagined Way of the Cross for Justice this year. Together with our partners\, IJPC invites you to engage in a self-guided Good Friday pilgrimage connecting the suffering of Jesus with the suffering brought about by injustice in our day. \nThe pilgrimage will begin at St. Francis Seraph Church and get on the Cincinnati Bell Connector (streetcar) for free. At nine streetcar stops\, you can pray with corresponding reflections on your smartphone or printed program. Do this on your own\, at any time of the day\, or gather with masks and social distancing anytime between 12:00-2:00 PM. You may also walk\, bike\, or drive the route. \nThe program is available here. You can print the program from home or pick up a copy at St. Francis Seraph Church on Good Friday\, April 2\, 2021. \nHelp us spread the word and share this invitation with your friends or community. \nAs we remember that Jesus was put to death by the state\, we reflect and commit to ending the death penalty in Ohio\, and invite you to consider contributing to support IJPC’s work for abolition. \n

SUMMARY:You Can't Quarantine Racism: Discussing our Legacy of White Impunity
DESCRIPTION:The murders of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor  are absolutely tragic. Their needless deaths were motivated by a racial hatred that has existed since our country’s founding. While we mourn their loss\, we also mourn the countless black men and women who have been lynched before them. We’re outraged at their deaths and outraged that justice for them and their families has not been delivered; we’re outraged that video recording is a prerequisite for justice for black murder victims only. White people going unpunished for racist\, brutal acts is the rule\, not the exception\, in America. What will we do in this current moment to stop the murders of black and brown people\, to amplify the voices saying\, “#WeAreDoneDying“?\n\nJoin us for “You Can’t Quarantine Racism: Discussing our Legacy of White Impunity”\, an event aimed at providing space for inter and intraracial dialogue\, to grieve and process state sanctioned violence against African Americans\, and to explore how white allies must do better. \n\nAll are welcome to join in this participant-led\, candid conversation. Registration is required but free.\n\n\nWhat: “You Can’t Quarantine Racism” : Exploring Our Legacy of White Impunity\nWhen: Tuesday\, May 26\, 2020 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM\nWhere: Zoom conference call\n\nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS REQUIRED! Follow this link to reserve your spot on the Zoom conference call. Once you register\, a link and dial-in number will be sent to you in an email.\n\n\n\n\nNervous about using Zoom? Don’t fret! Our hosts will open the Zoom call 15 minutes before the meeting begins in order to answer any technology-related questions you might have.\nQuestions? Contact Jessie@IJPCcincinnati.org
