Clergy Standing Up For Our LGBTQ Community

Event Description

There has been a concerted effort on the part of the far-right in this country to find the next enemy, the next imagined villain to gather around their followers for their two-minutes hate rallies that pass as political and religious protests.

These efforts have extended to public libraries and school board meetings, where the ideas of empathy, compassion and understanding are painted as Un-Christian, demonic, or an attempt to "groom" children.

Many brave clergy and religious leaders have spoken up for the defiled and oppressed in board meetings, legislatures, and houses of worship themselves. We will be hearing from those that are doing the work of standing up with our LGBTQ+ community and speaking their truth.

Join the conversation with our speaker:

PLEASE SUPPORT ICUJP'S FERVENT CALL THAT RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES MUST STOP BLESSING WAR AND VIOLENCE BY MAKING A GENEROUS DONATION

Since 2001, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace has been advocating for a more peaceful and inclusive world, often in the face of constant war, violence, disinformation and cynicism. With a small part-time staff and lots of volunteers, your donations help us meet our budget and expand our reach.

So far this year alone we have presented a series of exceptional Friday Forums exploring:

We know that you are asked to support a wide array of worthy organizations.  All we ask is that you include ICUJP among them with as generous a contribution as you can afford. 

We are especially grateful to whose who can make a sustaining monthly donation of $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100. If you're able to give an annual contribution of $250, $500, or $1,000, it would allow us to mount more events and conferences throughout the year.  If you belong to a congregation or organization, please explore whether they can make a donation or grant.
