Indivisible Akron September Community Meeting: A Community Conversation on Race and Belonging
2025-09-08 17:30 - 20:00 | Unitarian Universalist Church of Akron, 3300 Morewood Road, Fairlawn, OH, 44333, United States
We’re doing something different this month! (We say that every month.)
Discomfort Is the Door to Freedom: A Community Conversation on Race and Belonging
Monday, September 8 | 5:30 p.m. | Unitarian Universalist Church of Akron

5:30 p.m. doors open and food is served
6:00 p.m. program starts

Akron’s story is shaped by deep racial divides, and too often, our community spaces reflect that separation. Questions like “Why aren’t more Black people involved?” or “Where are all the Black voices?” surface in majority-white spaces like Indivisible Akron and Indivisible groups nationwide. These questions deserve more than assumptions; they deserve honest, facilitated dialogue rooted in listening, learning, and our own accountability.
Join us for a hands-on, community-wide event where we’ll explore these questions and more together. With guidance from experienced facilitators and breakout group discussions, we’ll dig into the history, the harm, and the hope for a more connected and equitable future.
This space is open to all, especially to those who are ready to move beyond discomfort toward deeper understanding and action.
Let’s start with a conversation and turn conversation into action.

Deep Canvassing Training | Summit County Democratic Party*

The Summit County Democratic Party is working with local leaders to engage voters across Akron through deep canvassing. At this interactive training, we’ll show you how to connect with voters on a deeper level and listen in a way that builds trust and inspires action. Whether you are experienced door knocker or this is your first time, you’ll leave ready to talk to voters with confidence.

What is deep canvassing? In Summit County alone, 72.58% of voters turned out at the polls, which at first glance sounds great, but why did those 27% stay home? Deep canvassing is an effort to engage with voters and learn more about what they need, why they vote (and don’t vote) and what it will take to get them more engaged in 2026 and beyond.
