Continuing Conversations: “The Statewide Black Agenda.”

Not in Our Town Princeton will host the Rev. Dr. Charles Franklin Boyer for a free online Contuing Conversations discussion on  “The Statewide Black Agenda,” on Monday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m.

Rev. Boyer will be among several Black leaders, including Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman and Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka to participate in a Statewide Meeting for the Black Agenda on Dec. 13 at 12:30 p.m. at Shiloh Baptist Church in Plainfield. They will discuss numerous policy issues they advocate for in Gov. Elect Mikie Sherrill’s first 100 days, including appointing Black leaders to her transition team and to key leadership positions; a biannual meeting with Black leadership, and numerous issues from funding for affordable housing to Black maternal health legislation.

Rev. Boyer is the pastor of Greater Mt. Zion A.M.E. Church in Trenton, and co-founder with his wife Rosalee of Salvation and Social Justice, a non-partisan Black faith-rooted public policy organization. Rev. Boyer is also a senior consultant to the Social Action Commission of the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

NIOT Princeton is a multi-racial, multi-faith group of individuals who stand together for racial justice and inclusive communities. Our focus is to promote the equitable treatment of all, and to uncover and confront white supremacy— the system that facilitates the preference, privilege and power of white people at the expense of non-white people and pits racial and ethnic groups against each other by upholding a hierarchy based on proximity to whiteness. Continuing Conversations are held the first Monday of most months at 7 p.m.
