Description
As the U.S. government continues to be used by forces willing to shut down the services and operations most critical to the people we serve, it remains clear that we cannot and will not ever be shut out.
On Monday, October 9 at 7 p.m. ET join me and my NAACP colleagues for “OUR POWER CANNOT BE SHUT DOWN: The Faith Community’s Role in Voting Rights and Voter Engagement,” a virtual conversation designed to unpack how the faith community can educate, engage, and inspire Black voters to use their voice at the ballot box. As senior pastor of Christ Missionary Baptist Church in Memphis, Tenn., this is a topic I hold dear.
For this discussion, I’ll be joined by the following guest speakers:
- Rev. Dr. Amos Brown, Pastor of the Third Baptist Church in San Francisco, California, and a member of the NAACP National Board of Directors
- Rev. Dr. Wendell Anthony, Pastor of Fellowship Chapel in Detroit, Michigan, and a member of the NAACP National Board of Directors
- Rev. Dr. Zina Pierre, Senior Pastor of Bethel Restoration Church in Lanham, Maryland, and Senior Advisor to the NAACP’s Religious Affairs Team
- Stephanie Owens, Senior Advisor, Voting Rights, NAACP
- Takiyah Jefferson, Senior Vice President, Executive Office, NAACP
