Clearing the Thicket: Alabama's Deep Underbrush of Injustice 

GBM's Faith in Community Workgroup presents an interactive conference aimed at digging deep into the entangling weeds of Alabama's social and economic injustices and offering tangible solutions to clear them away.  Rev. Liz Theoharis, Director of the Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice at Union Theological Seminary and Co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival will be the keynote speaker.

This conference is open to faith and community leaders, social justice allies and advocates, students, and people directly impacted by Alabama's systemic injustices.  

This event is free of charge.  Lunch will be provided for a nominal fee and lunch scholarships will be made available for those who need it.
