What's the role of the church in the social movements of today?
The Pope set a powerful example for global faith communities this September. His environmental encyclical supercharged the climate movement! Is the Black Church heeding this call to action? What is our call to service?
Now more than ever, our communities need the leadership of the church on issues ranging from joblessness and educational disparity to police violence and the environment. How can we take our place at the front of these movements?
Join a dynamic community conversation with some of Alameda County’s leading religious figures to discuss how we can step into our power for the Black community and for all communities. With recent policies in the state (SB535) driving investment in many low income communities, and ever expanding opportunities to shape these conversations, can the Black church drive this change in the Bay Area?
