Dear Friends,

As NRCAT continues our series of “how to” webinars for faith advocates, we invite you to save the date for our next training, “How To Shine Your Light,” on Wednesday, June 18 from 12pm – 1:15pm ET/11-12:15pm CT/9am-10:15am PT.

In this webinar during June Torture Awareness Month, you will learn about how your faith community can partner with NRCAT to lead public witness vigils on the 23rd of each month to draw attention to the estimated 122,00 people who are held for 23 hours a day in solitary confinement in U.S. prisons and jails. The webinar will feature leaders of WISDOM, a Wisconsin network of faith-based organizations, whose members have been leading these vigils as they work for racial and economic justice.

To help spread the word about the upcoming June 18th webinar with your faith community here is the public registration link for sharing: https://bit.ly/June18-2025Webinar

In community,

Laura Markle Downton, M.Div.
Director, Faith and Community Engagement
