Report from the front lines! Ner Shalomer and student rabbi Rinat Abastado recently traveled to Minneapolis to participate in the clergy's actions against the harsh and unconstitutional tactics of ICE. Join us to hear Bev Voloshin interview Rinat about the ICE raids in Minneapolis; the nature and significance of the unprecedented demonstrations and other forms of community organizing; and the particular role of the clergy.
Registration is free, and we encourage participants to contribute to North Bay Organizing Project’s Rapid Response Network. The Rapid Response Network responds to the urgent needs of our community with a culturally responsive, intersectional approach to building community power.
