Our world is
increasingly
diverse—diversity
which can be
frightening. Our
quality of life
improves when we
feel safe and
comfortable in
our own
communities.
Getting to know
and better
understand our
neighbors from
different
cultures and
faith traditions
allows us to
experience a
greater sense of
security,
comfort, and
unity in our
lives.
The Interfaith
Center for
Racial Justice (ICRJ)
has been working
for four decades
to build bridges
of understanding
among people of
different
cultures and
faith
traditions. Join
us in this
important
venture, whether through
attendance at our
signature event: our
annual
MLK Holiday Celebration
of Macomb County,
participation in our
unique
Listen, Learn, & Live (LLL)
programming, involvement
in our
Interfaith Breakfast
Seminar, support
of our
LLL Summer Camp for
Teenagers and
Forums on Diversity
segments, and/or by
joining our organization
as a member or
volunteer. Together we
can build a more
cohesive community, a
stronger region, and a
better world for all.
