Systemic racism is one of a myriad of issues an emerging social justice group plans to tackle in New Bern and Eastern North Carolina.
Creating and Sustaining Equity of New Bern – CASE – is the result of summer discussions by Craven Community College sociology teacher Caitlin Trombley, her husband Robert and five young professional women in town - Kelly Rogers, Bailey Evans, Niki Potter, JoAnna Wishon, and Heather Guthrie.
The conversations evolved into the decision to create a nonprofit action group and get real answers.
“Our mission is to eliminate inequality and build a more equitable community by providing education, training, assistance and supportive resources to the area,” said Trombley, who along with her husband, are New Bern natives.
