SUMMARY:"It's Our Time: Every Generation is Called to Build a Movement" with Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II
DESCRIPTION:Register here!  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Dwight Hall Jane and William E. Curran ’49 Distinguished Mentor Program presents: \n\n\n\nRev. Dr. William J. Barber II\, social justice activist\, pastor\, and professor of the practice at Yale\, delivers a moral call to action at Yale College.  \n\n\n\nAs this year’s Curran Distinguished Mentor\, Rev. Barber will speak to Yale College students about the transformative power of collective action and movement building and the positive impact of an intergenerational approach to the fight for justice.  \n\n\n\nRev. Barber is the Founding Director of the new Center for Public Theology & Public Policy at Yale Divinity School\, President of Repairers of the Breach\, and Co-Chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. \n\n\n\nJoin this public address hosted by Dwight Hall at Yale on Tuesday\, April 4th\, at 6 PM EDT. The topic of his address is “It’s Our Time: Every Generation Is Called To Build A Movement.” \n\n\n\nOver the past few decades\, our nation has experienced the rollback of the human rights and civil rights won by social justice movements throughout our history. The stagnation of wages\, rapid climate change\, the erasure of voting rights protections\, and the lack of an affordable healthcare system amid a global pandemic are only a few of the issues challenging our communities. Building a diverse social justice movement rooted in a moral framework is critical to transforming our communities and the country. In a world that feels increasingly isolated\, a moral fusion movement calls us to come together across differences\, race\, culture\, religion\, sexuality\, gender-identify\, age\, and more\, to organize and mobilize around a moral policy agenda that prioritizes love\, truth\, and justice.  \n\n\n\nApril 4th\, a solemn day\, also marks the 55th anniversary of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, who\, at the time of his untimely death\, was organizing with the National Welfare Rights Organization\, worker’s rights movement\, women’s rights movement\, religious leaders\, and people of all races to launch the Poor People’s Campaign to fight poverty in the U.S. and ensure basic economic and human rights. More than 50 years later\, the fight continues.  \n\n\n\nThis event coincides with the launch of the Center for Public Theology & Public Policy at the Yale Divinity School. The Center’s mission is to prepare a new generation of moral leaders to be active participants in creating a just society using the academic\, practical\, and research tools of past and present social justice movements. Learn more at theologyandpolicy.yale.edu.  \n\n\n\nA limited amount of in-person seating is available for this event in the Dwight Hall Chapel. Students may register using Yale Connect.  Reception to follow in the Dwight Hall Common Room immediately following the event\, including halal options for iftar. \n\n\n\n\nA waiting list will be maintained for this event. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to register for the Zoom broadcast of the event.\n\n\n\n\nInterested students may also register for a Pauli Murray College Tea with Reverend Barber on April 6th.
