Sunday, March 17th
10:30am
Join us in person or Zoom!
How do we respond to anti-democratic movements in our civic lives, both individually and as a congregation? How can our response support those most vulnerable to direct attack and inequitable legal protections? CB will talk about their experience as a queer, trans non-binary educator and activist who has studied and worked in opposition to nationalistic anti-democratic movements, and invite us to reflect on our next moves.
