Across our communities, we are witnessing moments marked by intimidation, violence, and the loss of innocent life, alongside challenges to core constitutional protections. These realities test whether we can speak freely, worship without fear, uphold justice, and hold power accountable. This convening allows us to consider how our faith traditions guide us in responding with integrity and courage.
We are honored to welcome Connie Rice, civil rights lawyer and Founder of the Advancement Project, as our keynote speaker. I will moderate a panel of faith leaders and legal experts reflecting on the moral responsibility to speak out and bear witness to the truth, the role of faith in upholding democracy, and the legal and constitutional implications of laws and policies that threaten civil liberties. We will also explore ways communities can build solidarity across faith lines and respond nonviolently to criminalization and injustice.
As people of faith, we are called upon to bear witness and stand for truth– uplifting the vulnerable and resisting efforts to silence dissent or diminish human dignity. At this moment, our collective witness can help shape a path forward rooted in justice, compassion, and our shared humanity.
If you are in the Los Angeles area, we hope you will join us for this important conversation and add your voice to a growing multifaith call for justice, accountability, and purpose.
