Racial Justice Action Group

The Racial Justice group currently focuses on three areas:

  1. Community education - we organize anti-racist trainings, programs and events

  2. Local schools - we advocate for diversity, inclusion and equity in the Haverford Township School District and for equitable funding throughout public schools Pennsylvania

  3. Policing - we work to make the police department more transparent and reflective of community needs
