Simulation: 12:00 – 1:00 pm

Cost: Free!

Join us on Martin Luther King Jr. Day for a nourishing Soup & Bread Luncheon and an eye-opening Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation experience. Through guided activities and conversation, participants will explore how historical and present-day policies shape financial outcomes across communities. Together, we’ll reflect on Dr. King’s call for justice, deepen our understanding of economic inequality, and share a meal while building empathy and awareness.

About the Racial Wealth Gap Learning Simulation:

The simulation is an interactive tool that shows how racial inequity is deeply connected to hunger, poverty, and wealth in the United States. It helps individuals, from beginners to experts, understand how historical and ongoing federal policies have created structural inequalities, particularly in areas like property ownership and education. These inequalities have led to hunger and poverty in communities of color. By illustrating the real economic impacts of these policies, the simulation highlights why racial equity is essential to ending hunger and poverty and encourages participants to support policies that reduce racial disparities.

Please RSVP HERE so we can plan seating and lunch!
