About This Event
Join Women Confronting Racism on May 3rd for a thought-provoking one-day conference at Marygrove Conservancy where we will delve into the timely and crucial discussion: "White Christian Nationalism: Politics Masquerading as Religion?" Our morning Keynote speaker, Rt. Rev. Dr. Bonnie A. Perry of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan, and our afternoon Keynote speaker former Congresswomen and current Executive Director of the Spill the Honey Foundation, Brenda Lawrence, will set the stage with compelling presentations directly addressing the question.
In between keynotes, registrants will be able to engage in enlightening breakout sessions led by Dan Korobkin of the Michigan ACLU, Rabbi Jeffrey Falick and noted Michigan activists JeDonna Dinges and Stephanie Crider. Don't miss this opportunity to explore perspectives, challenge assumptions, and foster dialogue on this pressing issue.
Following the conference, Nomi Joyrich of Jews for a Secular Democracy, will offer a bonus workshop on the new Michigan voting laws that everyone should know and understand!
Space is limited so register today!
