In addition to sharing our own thoughts, three speakers will very briefly address issues we might expect to arise in the coming months and potential actions that we might take to help others in our communities:
Professor Margalynne Armstrong on constitutional and legal issues
Katie Fantin of Abode Services on homelessness
Diane Guinta on how SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice) brings about political change at the local level.
A list of spiritual and practical resources will be provided.

Any amount of time you can give is appreciated – and it’s a great way to meet and socialize with members of our community! Questions?
