The Livingston Faith and Race Project offers a variety events and activities:
- Public Demonstrations: opportunities for all citizens of our community to unite in love for people of all races.
- Presentations about the history of race relations in Livingston County
- Programs about race and racism that help people understand the roots and realities of prejudice and racism in our communities and even in our own unconscious biases as well as how to transform ourselves into active anti-racists and our communities into more loving, just and welcoming places.
- Political action to support candidates, laws and policies that are just and equitable. Examples include elimination of racial deed restrictions that remain in place today (unenforceable, but still offensive), inclusion of truthful racial history in schools, and the creation of affordable housing and efficient public transportation for all who wish to visit or reside in our county.
- Movies, Performances and Book Clubs related to the history of race and racism in America.
- Diversity Dividends: Exploring specific advantages for all of us that are derived when barriers to racial inclusion and biases in our community are ended.
- Dialog, Discernment and Prayer about the intersection and interdependence of our faith and race relations
