Join your Mid-America Anti-Racism/Pro-Reconciliation Justice Ministries Team for a Virtual Summit experience in learning, preparing and engaging key issues facing our lives, congregations, local communities and residents across the State of Missouri. In addition to the concerns and opportunities already impacting our lives, COVID 19 has negatively impacted many, our congregations and communities in great ways. What can we do about this dangerous pandemic and its impact? As people of faith, we can engage it faithfully. It's an opportunity to provide care, engage with empathy and respond as people of faith. Join us! You have two critical opportunities to participate:
May 28, 2020 11:00-12:30: We will engage with one another around questions of systemic justice as we explore inequities in access and outcomes in public health. This session will include presentations from Karishma Furtado of Forward Through Ferguson, who will brief us on Covid-19 and health inequities, and DeMarco Davidson of Metropolitan Congregations United, who will explain what's at stake and next steps regarding Medicaid expansion, Clean Defense, and other key ballot initiatives in Missouri. We will conclude with questions and discussion.
June 4, 2020 11:00-12:30: We will learn how Covid-19 is affecting some communities and institutions in Missouri. Pastor Robin Terrell of SCC-New London will join us and share about the community in and surrounding Vandalia Correctional Center and justice issues in his part of rural Missouri. Kris Milliron of FCC-Marshall will talk with us about her investigation and interviews with church members who work at the packing plant, and their experiences in the midst of this pandemic. We will conclude with questions and discussion.
