RUSSELL A PLACE OF PROMISE HOMECOMING EVENTS

Join us for our 5th Annual Russell Homecoming celebration and click here to learn how to get involved!

Join us for a weekend of celebration, reflection, and community building in the heart of the Russell neighborhood! This vibrant gathering honors the legacy of the community, celebrates the work of the Russell: A Place of Promise (RPOP), and uplifts the voices of residents who have led the fight against displacement. Through music, food, art, and powerful storytelling, we’ll reflect on five years of grassroots organizing and envision a future rooted in equity and resilience. From family-friendly fun to deep conversations and joyful performances, this weekend is about remembering where we’ve come from and imagining where we can go—together.

LISTEN LEARN ACT ANTI-RACISM CHALLENGE

On October 3, Listen Learn Act will kick off our 20^th quarterly Anti-Racism Challenge. 

At this time, unity for our country and community is foremost in our minds. Though we all wish it were no longer necessary, we still need to work toward equity. That’s what the Anti-Racism Challenge is all about: staying aware of the racism that still plagues us and proactively working to change it. We hope this city-wide Challenge will reach every corner of Louisville.

Take the City-wide 4-Week Anti-Racism Challenge sponsored by Listen Learn Act!  

How it works: For 4 weeks, beginning October 3, participants will receive a weekly email with a list of 10-12 anti-racism activities (read an article, watch a video, visit a Black-owned business, etc.) We ask participants to complete 3 of the activities over the course of the week. It is purely personal; you don't report to anyone. By regularly participating in anti-racism activities, we naturally develop better habits of noticing and challenging racism in our daily lives.  Sign up here: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/cADwZWv
