STREAMS OF JUSTICE
Streams of Justice seeks to engage important social justice issues
and community concerns through discussion.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” - Martin Luther King Jr.
NEW-Book Discussion Group - Racism without Racists:
Color-Blind Racism & the Persistence of Racial Inequality in America
Do you have a passion for reading and for justice? Join us as we seek to engage
some of the biggest social justice issues of our day. Each meeting we will take
time for guided discussion and reflection. Reading schedules and other materials will be distributed on the first night of class. Price includes cost of book.
(There is also an option to purchase the book on your own and pay only the
$5 Admin Fee). If cost is prohibitive please ask about our scholarship option.
Class meets every other Tuesday.
Book Description:
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s acclaimed Racism without Racists documents how,
beneath our contemporary conversation about race, lies a full-blown arsenal of
arguments, phrases, and stories that whites use to account for—and ultimately
justify—racial inequalities. This provocative book explodes the belief that
America is now a color-blind society.
About the Author:
Eduardo Bonilla-Silva is professor and chair of the Sociology department at
Duke University. The recipient of the American Sociological Association’s CoxJohnson-Frasier award and the Lewis A. Coser award for theoretical agendasetting, he is author or co-editor of several books, including White Logic,
White Methods.

NEW-Black Lives Matter Movement: Why should I care?
What is Black Lives Matter? What does it mean? Don’t all lives matter? Is it a
moment in time or a movement? Why are views in Minnesota (and the nation)
on Black Lives Matter so starkly divided along racial lines? Is there something
in Minnesota culture that leads us to avoid tough conversations on race? Why
should I care?
Join Andre Koen and Stephen Keeler as they lead a class discussion on the
Black Lives Matter Movement and the history that led up to it. A supplemental
fee of $10 may be paid to instructor to receive 2 CEU’s approved by MN Post

about your bike and how to handle it? What are the best places to ride? This

road and pre-ride bike safety checks will be reviewed. Learn basic maintenance
that can keep you and your bike rolling. No bike needed for class one.

basics in a safe environment will be included.

riding. Then, class members put the theory to test by practicing small group
riding on a variety of street types and at intersections. Learn lane positioning

map. Safety comes first and no one will be required to ride beyond their comfort level. Bring your bike and weather-appropriate clothing for this hands-on
session.

Early Childhood Programs
What is ECFE?
Contact Information:
ECFE understands the importance of the early years as learning years. Right
from birth, parents shape the child’s development, strengthen the parent-child
relationship and set the stage for future learning and growth as a family. ECFE
supports families by offering a variety of classes to provide education, encouragement and support for both parents and young children.
The original intent of creating ECFE was grounded in research that linked the
quality of the child’s development from birth to kindergarten age with later
school success. That research has been proven many times over. In the last four
decades, ECFE has supported parents as their child’s first teacher.

participate in an Early Childhood
Screening prior to their entry into
kindergarten in a public school. Between the ages of 3 ½ and 4 years,
screening can detect possible health
or learning concerns, so that children
can get the necessary help before they
start school. If you have a child between these ages who has not been
screened, you can make an appointment by calling 763-502-5124. The
next screening dates are listed below.
Spring Screening dates:
March 15, 16, 17
June 1 & 2, 2016
Appointments are necessary.
To schedule an appointment
please call 763-502-5124 or email
joan.lenzmeier@fridley.k12.mn.us
Fridley’s Early Childhood program
wants to support all families with infants. If you have a new baby at your
house, and live in the Fridley School
District, we would like to add your
child to our district census to make
sure that you get all appropriate mailings as your child grows and nears
school age. You could also pick up or
we could deliver a free book for your
new baby.
Call us today at 763-502-5122 to let
us know about the new member of
your family.

Help me GROW
While all young children grow and
change at their own rate, some children experience delays in their development. Special health conditions
may affect children’s development, too.
MN children are eligible for services in
their home, child care setting or school.
These services are free to all families.
If you have questions about your child’s
development or if you think your child
might need extra help, please contact
