Dear Friends,

Join us tomorrow for our next “how to” webinar for faith advocates, “How To Shine Your Light” on Wednesday, June 18 at 12pm – 1:15pm ET.

REGISTER FOR THE JUNE 18th WEBINAR

Join us to learn how you 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 up to 23 hours a day in solitary confinement in U.S. prisons and jails. Webinar presenters will include leaders of WISDOM, a Wisconsin network of faith-based organizations whose members have been leading monthly vigils on the 23rd of each month outside correctional facilities in Green Bay and at the state capitol in Madison. We will also learn from leaders of EXPO of Wisconsin about the power and importance of honoring the human dignity of every life by hosting rapid response vigils outside a women’s prison following tragedies there. 

Speakers include: 
◦ Marianne Oleson, Operations Director at EXPO of Wisconsin
◦ Talib Akbar, Vice President of the WISDOM Executive Board
◦ Rev. Steve Hartman, member of the Board of Directors and Spiritual Leaders for JOSHUA
◦ Amber Edwards, Community Organizer, JOSHUA Green Bay and RUTH Manitowoc 
◦ Moderator: Laura Markle Downton, NRCAT Director of Faith and Community Engagement
