“We Must Breathe," in the words of our Executive Director Rev. Dr. Waltrina Middleton, is more than a theme for Community Renewal Society’s 138th Annual Membership Assembly. “‘We must breathe’ is a prophetic proclamation affirming self-worth and a righteous charge in the face of violence against Black and Brown bodies and lives,” she shares. The Annual Membership Assembly will take place on Saturday, October 3 at 10:30 a.m. via Zoom and is open to all. As we gather to reaffirm our platform commitments and CRS mission and values, “We Must Breathe” will be a resonating message throughout.
