Save the Date - Wisdom from the Margins
August 23 at 1:15pm on Zoom
Our next Wisdom series speaker is Afsha Malik. Her talk will feature an exploration of inter-generational perspectives grounded in the experiences of young Black and brown activists and social workers pressing for social change in this period of COVID-19, the Movement for Black Lives, and broader coalition building. The conversation aims to prompt reflection and open dialogue about ways in which structural racism in the United States impacts participants’ goals, life trajectories, and demands moving into the future.

Hosted by our very own Reverend Peggy Clarke and our neighbor Reverend Sarah Lenzi of the Unitarian Society of Ridgewood, New Jersey, Hope & Heresy is a podcast for everyday people who want to live meaningfully and ask big questions about our complicated world without arbitrary doctrine or oppressive religious practice. Each episode examines a contemporary topic through the lens of liberal religion and ends with a moment of hope and a way to get involved in your community.
