FORJ (Families Organizing for Racial Justice) is a coalition of school-aged families in Newton coming together to teach our children – and ourselves – how to stand up for racial equality. The next (online) meeting is not yet scheduled, but if you’d like to be notified, please feel free to contact our Lincoln-Eliot FORJ Liaison, Lanni Isenberg, lanni_harris@yahoo.com.
