Did you know that Kids4Peace has a peace garden at Spring Grove? We do and we would love for you to join us there for a special event featuring real raptors! Raptor Inc will come out with three different Cincinnati native birds for us to see up close and personal. We will learn about their contributions to our community. We will also learn a few things we can do to help keep the environment healthy.
This event is for all ages so if you know younger children that might be interested in getting to know some really big, cool birds, please pass along the information.

This virtual conference will explore ways to uplift our Black and Brown communities through homeownership which builds individual wealth and will ultimately help Cincinnati create a more vibrant, diverse, resilient and equitable community. The most significant indicator of systemic racism in the United States is the wealth gap between Blacks and Whites. The disparity in homeownership accounts for a significant part of that wealth gap.
