In a moment of political volatility, rising authoritarianism, and deepening social fractures, what role can people of faith play in building justice and protecting democracy?
Join Union Theological Seminary for an interreligious ReUnion 2025 panel hosted by Dr. Simran Jeet Singh (Aspen Institute; author of The Light We Give) and featuring:
- Brittany Packnett Cunningham — educator, activist, podcast host, and author of the forthcoming We Are Like Those Who Dream (One World/Random House).
- Qasim Rashid — human rights attorney, author, and advocate for immigrant justice and digital safety.
- Rabbi Mike Moskowitz — Orthodox rabbi and scholar known for Torah-rooted advocacy for trans and queer liberation.
- Ericka M. Echavarría — Social justice advocate, educator, and licensed social worker teaching at Columbia School of Social Work.
This public conversation will move from truth-telling to practices to concrete next steps. Free and open to all — RSVP required.
