Next Event — Confronting Poverty: A Dialogue
This dialogue will be over Zoom, and will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 22nd from 7-9 pm ET. RSVP to JIDS.Washington@gmail.com
Of all the topics that receive far too little attention, poverty may top the list. The fact that it has proven to be as intractable as it has is a tragedy of the deepest magnitude. What can our society do about it? What can we as individuals do about it? These are among the questions we will address starting with presentations by a three-person panel, followed by a Q&A, and culminating with small group discussions. Our panel, which includes representatives of all three Abrahamic/Ibrahimic faiths, will consist of Dr. Jamel Coy Hudson (of the N.Y. State Poor People’s Campaign and the Muslim Alliance of Black Lives), Rabbi Michael Pollack (of the Pennsylvania Poor People’s Campaign and Pennsylvania Action on Climate) and Jim Vitarello (former Executive Director of DC-PIRG and the DC residential mortgage commission). Please join us on October 22nd.
