We hope you're as excited as we are about the upcoming Living Legacy Racial Justice Pilgrimage with Coming to the Table. We're thrilled that we have filled the bus and are even running a waiting list! That being the case, if you find that for any reason you're not able to join us, please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer your spot to someone on the list.
Do you have frequent flyer miles (or cash) you're willing to donate?
We're working really hard to make sure that everyone who has registered is able to get to Birmingham. We'd hate for someone to miss out because they don't have the resources for an airline ticket. If you're someone who has accrued frequent flyer miles and are willing to donate enough to cover someone's flight who wouldn't be able to come otherwise, please reply to the this email with the number of miles you're willing to donate and the airline they're from. We'll match you up with someone who can use them.
If you don't have miles but are still able to make a monetary donation that would also help tremendously. You can make a donation of any amount, large or small, to the Scholarship Fund using this link:

A brief update on lodging before and after
A number of you have asked about lodging the night before and the night after the trip. We are finalizing our contracts with hotels now and as soon as we do, we'll send you information about how to make a reservation using our group discount. We should have these all set by the end of August. We appreciate your patience.
Also, I want to tell you again that we are no longer planning an extension of the Pilgrimage in Memphis. You're welcome to stay in Memphis on your own, if you choose to do that. However, the bus will be returning to Birmingham and we'll be doing some end-of-the-experience processing on the return trip so we hope as many of you who can will join us for that.
More soon
We'll be sending out bulletins with more information about the Pilgrimage in early September and one in early October. Please read them when you receive them as they will have important information that will help you prepare for the trip.
Thanks for your generosity and your commitment.
