Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation Launches Transformative Fundraising Drive

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. - Sept. 6, 2023 - PRLog -- The Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation began its 2023 fundraising drive on September 1, 2023.

"September is our bucket-filling month. We spend the entire year focused on planning events and developing resources. In September, we take a moment to reflect and regroup." – Randee Wilding, Chief Operating Officer

When 2023 closes, the Dock C. Bracy Center will have facilitated four Eradicating Racism: A Path Forward learning series; twelve Reading for Understanding virtual book discussions and ongoing Finding Your Voice Program meetings. This year, we launched our quarterly Let's Talk Series (https://www.dcbcenter.org/post/social-justice-parenting) as outreach, public education and the creation of resources (https://www.dcbcenter.org/resources-old).

Currently, 70 people have signed our Anti-Racism Pro-Human Reconciliation Pledge (https://www.dcbcenter.org/the-pledge) and there are 258 website subscribers. Our website (https://www.dcbcenter.org/) has received over eight thousand views and we have expanded our social media presence.

We began delivering our Eradicating Racism: A Path Forward (https://www.dcbcenter.org/eradicating-racism-learning-series) learning series in 2020 and we seek to support individuals who want to eradicate racism in their communities, and our efforts are growing.

We want to share with you the exciting initiatives we are planning to launch in 2024 and are asking for your financial support:

• Expanded Eradicating Racism: A Path Forward (https://www.dcbcenter.org/eradicating-racism-learning-series) learning series offering
• Creation of Conversations with Paul videos and Dock's Corner
• Continued Let's Talk Series expert speakers
• Launch of Train the Trainer program
• Increase collaboration with other organizations
• Growing Reading for Understanding (https://www.dcbcenter.org/reading-for-understanding) monthly virtual book discussions

"Though we believe that people should not have to pay to gain the knowledge and skills needed to eradicate racism and other forms of human oppression, the reality is there are costs incurred to deliver our services. We do all we can to minimize our cost; currently no paid staff, everyone volunteers their time and expertise. Your kind donations in the past have allowed us to come this far in supporting you and others." – Paul S. Bracy, Founder and President

• Pay it forward for a person to attend the Eradicating Racism (https://www.dcbcenter.org/eradicating-racism-learning-series) learning series, $100
• Help sustain our organization by making ongoing monthly donations

The beauty of a learning organization such as ours is that we continue to learn from our participants and revise and increase our offerings accordingly in support of you. With your financial support, we will continue to do this for years to come until we achieve our shared vision (https://www.dcbcenter.org/the-pledge).

"The United States of America is a country where all children are valued and have equal access to health, happiness, education, personal freedom, and economic security. All institutions conduct their business in a manner to ensure the human rights of every child."
