SUMMARY:#Faith4ERA Workshop: Gender Justice & Equality
DESCRIPTION:If we are all equal in dignity and worth before our Creator\, do we not also deserve equal respect under the law? The Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) would make this a reality by enshrining gender equality in the U.S. Constitution. \nThe ERA is closer than ever to being rightfully recognized as the 28th Amendment\, and people of faith have a critical opportunity and responsibility to help get it over the finish line—securing equality for generations of Americans to come. \nAllyson McKinney Timm\, Founder and Executive Director of Justice Revival and leader of the #Faith4ERA campaign\, will lead participants in: \n\nExploring the Biblical and theological basis for gender justice and equality\nLearning more about the ERA\, the 100 year struggle to see it adopted\, and why it matters more than ever today—for both women and LGBTQ+ citizens\nGetting equipped to join the vibrant and growing movement for the ERA\n\nThis event is hosted as part of the Adult Education Program at Bradley Hills Presbyterian Church in Bethesda\, MD. Join in person (6601 Bradley Blvd) or on Zoom! Head to Bradley Hill’s website to learn more and join the Zoom call at the time of the event.

SUMMARY:Truth & Transformation: Uprooting Racism & Reimagining Policing in the United States
DESCRIPTION:As people of faith\, we cannot profess the sacredness of human life and ignore the ongoing crisis of police killings and excessive force in this country.\n\nThis is a past event. You can watch the full recording below.\n  \n\nA little more than a year ago\, Derek Chauvin\, a white police officer with 18 prior complaints of misconduct\, murdered George Floyd\, an unarmed Black man\, in broad daylight. Although no response could adequately match the arbitrary deprivation of a sacred\, infinitely valuable life\, the public outcry for change and accountability has been forceful and widespread.  \nSadly\, public officials have not met the intensity of the calls for change with commensurate urgency. Legislative responses have been scattered on state and local levels and efforts to pass federal laws have stalled. This shameful inaction costs lives. Since the murder of George Floyd\, police have killed over 1\,000 more individuals.  \nUnsatisfied with the inadequate response from domestic lawmakers\, grieving families who lost loved ones to police killings have looked to faith leaders for solace and leadership\, and to international human rights bodies to address the long-neglected violations. Both local and international appeals place pressure on the U.S. to live up to its human rights commitments and shine a light on the structural racism of our criminal justice system.  \nReflecting on the glacial movement toward racial justice in America\, James Baldwin asked\, “How much time do you want for your progress?” For the people and neighborhoods still subject to the excesses of unaccountable state power on a daily basis\, there is no time to wait. Now is the time to harness the power of global human rights and the moral imperative of our faith to transform American criminal justice. \nDuring this time of reckoning with discriminatory police violence\, join Justice Revival for a special conversation with three esteemed guest speakers\, to explore the issue from the intersection of Christian faith and commitment to human rights. \n \nGuest Speakers\n \nJustin Hansford is a Howard University School of Law Professor of Law and Executive Director of the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center. Professor Hansford was previously a Democracy Project Fellow at Harvard University\, a Visiting Professor of Law at Georgetown University Law Center\, and an Associate Professor of Law at Saint Louis University. He has a B.A. from Howard University and a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center\, where he was a founder of the Georgetown Journal of Law and Modern Critical Race Perspectives. Professor Hansford also has earned a Fulbright Scholar award to study the legal career of Nelson Mandela\, and served as a clerk for Judge Damon J. Keith on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.   \nProfessor Hansford is a leading scholar and activist in the areas of critical race theory\, human rights\, and law and social movements. He is a co-author of the forthcoming Seventh Edition of Race\, Racism and American Law\, the celebrated legal textbook that was the first casebook published specifically for teaching race-related law courses. His interdisciplinary scholarship has appeared in academic journals at various universities\, including Harvard\, Georgetown\, Fordham\, and the University of California at Hastings. He also is a member of the Stanford Medicine Commission on Justice and Equity. \n \nNicole Austin-Hillery is Human Rights Watch’s U.S. Program Executive Director. In this role\, Ms.  Austin-Hillery leads Human Rights Watch’s efforts to end violations in abusive systems within the United States. Her work focuses on tackling race discrimination\, rights problems within the domestic criminal justice system\, improving the U.S. immigration system\, and advocating for economic equality and equitable policies.  \nPrior to joining Human Rights Watch\, Ms. Austin-Hillery was the first Director and Counsel of the Washington\, D.C. office at The Brennan Center for Justice. At the Brennan Center\, she oversaw the growth and development of the Center’s advocacy and policy development work in  Washington and served as its chief representative before Congress and the Executive Branch.  \nWhile at the Brennan Center\, Ms. Austin-Hillery focused on voting rights\, criminal justice\, racial justice and improving the functioning of our democracy.  \nRead her complete bio here. \n \nAn itinerate elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church\, the Rev. Terrance M. McKinley is a Senior Staff Member at Sojourners\, the nation’s largest Christian Messaging and Media organization. He is the Director of Racial Justice and Mobilizing and provides leadership to the policy\, advocacy and mobilization efforts that galvanize people of faith to fight systems that disenfranchise people of color. Rev. McKinley is also the newly appointed Senior Pastor of the historic Campbell AME Church in the nation’s capital\, Washington D.C. \nThroughout his ministry\, he has demonstrated his commitment to matters related to faith and justice. Prior to his most recent appointment\, he served as the pastor of Hosanna AME Church in Darlington\, Maryland. For over five years\, he served on the Ministerial Staff of Reid Temple A.M.E. Church; the largest church in African Methodism. Rev. McKinley also served for over a decade at The Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in his hometown\, Queens\, New York. He is grateful to have had the opportunity to also serve in an interim role as pastor of Mokone Memorial AME Church in Soweto\, South Africa. \nRev. McKinley answered the call to ministry at 19 and was ordained at age 23. He is an Alum of Cornell University in Ithaca\, New York where he earned his Bachelor of Science Degree and holds Honors. He is also an Alum of Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton\, New Jersey where he earned his Master of Divinity Degree. \nRead his complete bio here. \n \nModerated by Allyson McKinney Timm\, Founder & Executive Director of Justice Revival\, this event is part of our new educational series\, “The Heart of Human Rights: Faith-Fueled Advocacy on Issues of Our Day.” \nIn this special series of web-based events\, courageous advocates share compelling stories of their struggles and triumphs for justice in modern-day America. They are joined in conversation by other human rights experts and fellow faith leaders who reflect on spiritual and theological dimensions of their cause. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the deep inter-connections between Christian faith and human rights\, and to understand urgent justice issues facing the United States today.

SUMMARY:The Right on which All Others Rest: Defending the Sacred Human Right to Vote
DESCRIPTION:Voting rights are under attack on the basis of race in the United States. This event will feature leading voting rights experts and explore the Christian imperative to defend the right to vote as a fundamental human right.\n\n\nThis event occurred on May 13\, 2021\, and you can now watch the recording below.\n \n  \nCheck out the continued education and awareness-raising we’re doing around voting rights by following us on social media:\n    \n  \nLoving our neighbor includes protecting their human and civil right to vote against continued threats of voter suppression.  \nThe right to vote\, which is fundamental to representative democracy\, has long been suppressed in the United States on the basis of race. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA)\, one of the country’s most successful civil rights laws\, tore down barriers to the exercise of this right. The law made great strides in ensuring marginalized communities–African-Americans\, in particular–could make their voices and votes heard.  \nToday\, the once widely-supported law is under attack. Weakened by the 2013 Supreme Court ruling in Shelby County v. Holder\,  the VRA is diminished in its capacity to safeguard the right to vote. The Supreme Court’s upcoming ruling in Brnovich v. DNC could further weaken the law’s ability to challenge racially discriminatory policies and practices. As a result\, legislatures across the country are considering a wave of bills to restrict voting access. Over 165 such bills have been introduced in 33 states. \nThe United States cannot afford to regress when so many Americans are already denied the franchise\, including the six million with felony records and seven hundred thousand D.C. residents who do not have equal representation in Congress. These notable gaps in voters’ rights have drawn critiques from international human rights authorities.   \nOn a hopeful note\, recently proposed legislation carries potential to right these wrongs and restore the power of the VRA\, making it easier\, not harder\, for citizens to participate in our democracy. The Faith in Action “Rise + Vote” campaign is one of the major efforts by and within faith communities to defend Americans’ right to vote. Its focus is educating and mobilizing BIPOC voters–many of whom have long been shut out from the democratic process. \nDuring this critical moment for voting rights in the United States\, join Justice Revival for a special conversation with two esteemed guest speakers\, to explore the issue from the perspective of Christian faith and commitment to fundamental human rights. \nGuest Speakers\nThe Rev. Alvin Herring is executive director of Faith in Action\, formerly PICO National Network\, an international network of 46 federations and local groups across the country. Prior to assuming this leadership role\, Rev. Herring worked as the director for racial equity and community engagement for the W.K. Kellogg Foundation\, the fifth largest foundation in the world. While serving in this role\, he advanced racial justice by ensuring groups leading racial justice work they had resources to propel their campaigns and initiatives. \n  \nMyrna Pérez is director of the Brennan Center‘s Voting Rights and Elections Program\, and leads the Program’s research\, advocacy\, and litigation work nationwide. An expert on voting rights and election administration\, she is the author of several nationally recognized reports and articles. Her work has been featured in media outlets across the country\, including the New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, and MSNBC. She has testified before Congress and several state legislatures on a variety of voting rights-related issues. She is a lecturer in law at Columbia Law School and has also served as an adjunct professor of clinical law at NYU School of Law. \n  \nModerated by Allyson McKinney Timm\, Founder & Executive Director of Justice Revival\, this event is part of our new educational series\, “The Heart of Human Rights: Faith-Fueled Advocacy on Issues of Our Day.” \nIn this special series of web-based events\, courageous advocates share compelling stories of their struggles and triumphs for justice in modern-day America.

SUMMARY:Full Inclusion\, True Equality\, Greater Justice: The Equal Rights Amendment\, 150 Years in the Making
DESCRIPTION:This event has passed. You can watch the recording below. \n \nWe are all created in God’s image\, equal in dignity and worth\, but we are not all granted equal rights in the United States. \nThe U.S. is the only democracy and one of only 18 countries worldwide that does not plainly protect women’s rights or prohibit gender discrimination in its constitution. Despite gender-based injustice such as sexual and intimate partner violence\, workplace harassment\, and pregnancy and pay discrimination\, our nation has never corrected the purposeful\, historic exclusion of women from our founding document. \nThat may change this year\, now that the needed 38 states have ratified the Equal Rights Amendment\, passed by Congress nearly 50 years ago\, which provides that rights “shall not be denied or abridged on the basis of sex.” \nIn celebration of International Women’s Day\, join Justice Revival for a special conversation with two extraordinary guest speakers to explore the ERA from the perspective of Christian faith and commitment to fundamental human rights. \n  \nGuest Speakers\nDr. Patricia “Pat” Spearman was elected to the Nevada State Senate in 2012 and is currently the Chief Majority Whip. In 2017 Senator Spearman carried the bill that saw Nevada ratify the Equal Rights Amendment. Spearman has received national recognition for her work including the 2015 Female Veteran of the Year and the 2018 Visionary Voice Award for her work on behalf of sexual assault and human trafficking survivors. In 2017\, Women in the Legislative Lobby selected her to receive their coveted Pacesetter Award for her commitment to women’s equality issues. She served in the U.S. Army for more than two decades and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. Pat is an ordained minister\, former pastor\, and serves on the Global Social Justice Ministry team of the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries. \nLisa Sharon Harper is the founder and president of Freedom Road\, a groundbreaking consulting group that crafts experiences that bring common understanding and common commitments that lead to common action toward a more just world. Lisa is a public theologian whose writing\, speaking\, activism and training has sparked and fed the fires of re-formation in the church from Ferguson and Charlottesville to South Africa\, Brazil\, Australia and Ireland. Lisa’s book\, The Very Good Gospel\, was named 2016 “Book of the Year” and the Huffington Post identified Lisa as one of 50 Women Religious Leaders to Celebrate on International Women’s Day. \n  \nModerated by Allyson McKinney Timm\, Founder & Executive Director of Justice Revival\, this event inaugurates our new educational series\, “The Heart of Human Rights: Faith-Fueled Advocacy on Issues of Our Day.” \nIn this special series of web-based events\, courageous advocates share compelling stories of their struggles and triumphs for justice in modern-day America. They are joined in conversation by other human rights experts and by fellow faith leaders who reflect on spiritual and theological dimensions of their cause. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the deep inter-connections between Christian faith and human rights\, and to understand urgent justice issues facing the United States today.
