Saturday, November 5, 8:30 a.m.-12:00 noon, at All Saints Church.
Engage stories from women of faith as they address the issue of Mass Incarceration. They are formerly incarcerated. They teach in the jails. They are prison chaplains. They serve returning citizens. They are defense and post-conviction attorneys. They advocate for alternatives to incarceration. They are Muslim and Christian women addressing the issue of Mass Incarceration.
Come hear stories of what it’s like to be a woman of faith facing this fact: although the US makes up only 5% of the world’s population; it is host to 25% of the world’s incarcerated population. The issue of Mass Incarceration is much talked and written about, but the stories of women are often overlooked and underreported. The same is true for an interfaith lens on this issue. This event hopes to spark change.
It addresses: What’s the experience of incarcerated women? As a woman, what’s it like to walk into courtrooms and write briefs on behalf of indigent clients? How does faith affect being a teacher in jails, a chaplain in prisons, or an advocate for returning citizens?
This, and more, on November 5th. Come join us! Everyone is welcome! Register here. Check out their website and the stellar list of panelists at tinyurl.com/MassIncNov5. For information email Islamics@Fuller.edu.
