At IMPACT, we know that Black history is American history and that the two cannot be separated. With that full knowledge, during this month dedicated to the discovery and remembrance of history for, by, and about Black Americans, we humbly invite you to join us for a journey we’re calling “History, Identity, Rootedness.”

The Weaver Learning Lab (WLL) brings together a range of community members who care deeply about equity, justice and liberation to focus on the deep inner transformational work necessary for outwards action and change. At the beginning of this year, the WLL facilitation team was preparing for a third cohort to go through another eight-month, in-person learning experience, but as we all know, Covid-19 changed our world and plans.
This program year, IMPACT’s “Film and Discussion” series is focused on cross-racial solidarity. The purpose of each film is to understand each other’s struggles, histories we haven’t been taught, and how these topics connect to our pursuit of justice and liberation today.
