As United Methodist Women we are sisters with a vibrant and demanding PURPOSE and we strive to implement that purpose: to put Faith, Hope and Love into Action…. But racism is an ugly thing. It is systemic, woven into the very fabric of our nation, and by its insidious nature racism often rears its ugly head, catching us unawares and derailing us from that purpose.

We will address this evil head-on under the leadership of Janis Rosheuvel, who is executive for racial justice for United Methodist Women in NYC.

Born in Guyana, South America, Ms. Rosheuvel has worked in the fields of international development and gender rights at the Tahirih Justice Center, Women for Women International, and Episcopal Relief and Development, and has served as executive director/organizer at Families for Freedom, a New York-based network of immigrants resisting mass incarceration and deportation. She was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship fulfilled in South Africa where Rosheuvel documented the work of social movements organized by migrants, shack dwellers and other working class activists. She lectures on migration and crime at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and serves on the boards of the National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights and the Black Alliance for Just Immigration. She holds a bachelor’s degree in international studies from American University and a master’s degree in conflict resolution from the University of Bradford in West Yorkshire, England.

As you prepare for the day, consider these questions:

·         How has race impacted my life:

·         What are the key racial justice issues in my

community?
