Thursday, November 19th
at 7:00 pm on Zoom
Community Conversations is a series of panel discussions held in partnership with the Salt Lake City Mayor's Office and SLCTV. Each month, panelists from local and national organizations will discuss some of today's most challenging issues in a moderated Zoom meeting.
November's Community Conversation will focus on hate crimes in the United States. Organizers for this conversation are the United Jewish Federation of Utah and their Partners Against Hate. The panel will include leaders from the Center for Global Policy, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, Western States Center, and historically-targeted minority communities. Mayor Erin Mendenhall will introduce the program and share the actions Salt Lake City is taking to declare that hatred and hate crimes have no place in our city.

The event will also be livestreamed on Facebook. |
