“It’s Time to Talk: Forum on Race”

The Chaska Police Department has joined with the YWCA, and many Chaska area community partners to bring to Chaska, “It’s Time to Talk: Forum on Race”.  This is an initiative modeled after successful programs in other metro communities.  It provides opportunities for meaningful dialogue, with the ultimate goal of eliminating barriers that foster racism.  “These conversations move beyond the superficial, by inviting people of every ethnicity to participate in seeking deeper understanding and friendship that will affirm a stronger and healthier community, which comes from increased involvement by all people”, said Chief of Police Scott Knight.  “Dialogues on Race” give people an opportunity to discuss racism and how it impacts our workplaces and society.
