Ongoing Events:

The DiversityWorks Book Club meets once a month in the Oakland/Grand Lake area to discuss fiction and non-fiction books that are related to such diversity topics as race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, class, family structure, religion, age, and ability/disability. The group meets on the fourth Thursday of every month from 7:30-9:00PM, with the first meeting being on the 28th of August. Sign up by contacting Julie Chang at or 510-835-9227.

This year’s presidential election has raised no shortage of fascinating diversity issues, and the Diversity In Politics Dialogue Group will take a look at some of these. Meeting every third Wednesday from 7:00-9:00PM between August 20th and election day, we’ll look at such topics as “identity politics vs. political position”, “religious minorities in the US”, “the hierarchy of ‘isms’”, and “mixed race America”. This dialogue group is in no way about promoting any one candidacy, nor is it much about politics. Instead, we’ll use this year’s political races as a point of departure to look at more universal diversity issues. The dialogue group will meet in Berkeley, and you can get more information about the group by emailing .

We invite you to come out to this year's edition of the Appreciating Diversity Film Series, our bi-monthly presentation of documentary films and discussion about related diversity issues. Click here to learn more about it!
