SUMMARY:From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration
DESCRIPTION:From Love II: Intimacy Through the Lens of Incarceration explores sex and sexuality through erotic art\, research based articles\, poetry\, paintings\, photos\, objects\, and ephemera\, created by currently incarcerated artists and their loved ones.  \n“Intimacy is a human right. The carceral system prohibits people from exercising that right\, a basic human need\, a salve. Healing is stolen from us.” JW \nThe exhibit exposes conditions that deny intimacy\, and highlights how intimacy is reclaimed\, maintained or lost. It sheds light on the struggle to sustain intimate relationships on the outside\, while serving time inside a system that denies people of basic human rights\, destroys families\, and is designed to break both body and spirit.  \nWith this in mind\, From Love II reminds us that fantasy\, pleasure\, sex\, and intimacy\, continue to serve as radical acts of resistance and liberation. Join us in the fight! \nPlease note\, this exhibition explores themes\, imagery\, and language that may be considered sensitive or provocative. Viewer discretion is advised\, as the content may include explicit or challenging subjects. We encourage thoughtful engagement and respectful dialogue as you experience the artwork presented. Some portions of this exhibit may not be suitable for all audiences. \nArtwork is for sale\, with prices available upon request\, and proceeds going directly to the artists. For more information\, please email singsingfamilycollective@gmail.com \nThank you for witnessing this work\, for being in community with us. \nLove & Solidarity\,\nAnna Adler & Joseph Wilson\, Sing Sing Family Collective\, August 2024 \nExhibit Dates: August 16-26\, 2024\nGallery Hours (Starting August 16):\nMon-Fri: 10AM-4PM\nSaturday\, August 17 10AM-6PM\nSaturday\, August 24 10AM-5PM \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, August 17\, 2024 4-6PM\nArtist Talk: Saturday\, August 24\, 2024 4-5PM \nCurated by Anna Adler &\nJoseph Wilson\nc/o Sing Sing Family Collective \nFeaturing…\nSircobra\nEllis Douglas\nBismark Lithgow\nDyego Foddrell\nJohn J.

Whitaker has traveled to Haiti\, Cuba\, Brazil\, France\, Germany\, Spain\, the Netherlands\, Belgium\, Ghana\, Jamaica\, Trinidad\, Tobago\, and Antigua to study\, perform\, and teach dance. Whitaker received an MFA in Dance from Hollins University\, a BA in Dance from San Francisco State University\, and attended The Ailey School.

Before she made her transition\, she created the beginning of a dance film called The Road to Ose Tura. As Efeya got closer to transitioning\, she sent Whitaker and some members of her Brooklyn dance community all the videos of the movement she was dreaming into life and her rehearsal footage in a Google drive. In her human form\, she did not finish setting her work on dancers. This task has been passed along to Adia; (1) Set Efeya’s ancestral dance prayers on dancers\, and (2) Complete the dance film she began. In 2022\, Adia Tamar Whitaker\, Renee Kimberly Smith (an Executive Leader\, Strategist\, Cultural Curator\, Efeya’s spiritual family\, and Research/Development Partner for both The Road to Ose Tura and Following the Road to Ose Tura)\, and Photographer/Cinematographer Ralston R. Smith were able to complete the 2nd section of The Road to Ose Tura dance film. \nFollowing the Road to Ose Tura | Adia Tamar Whitaker \nFollowing The Road to Ose Tura is the landing pad/container for Whitaker’s personal reflections while building her friend’s film\, and navigating her own grief. It is Whitaker’s journey to express her story and place it in conversation with Efeya’s story. It’s the story of Adia being diagnosed with a far less life-threatening cancer and having excellent health insurance while supporting the health needs of a friend and artist fighting to stay alive with standard health insurance. It’s the story of Adia still being here on earth\, still dancing with Efeya in their new relationship. It’s the story of listening and not being listened to. The story of how Adia and so many others are different because of Efeya’s life and transition. The story of visible invisible people … Black women …  POC … Artists … Undocumented essential workers … Elders … And many more weathering\, living\, and dying. It is the story of Adia finding healing and speaking her truth through fully realizing her friend’s work and her own. \nFollowing the Road to Ose Tura | The Premiere | San Francisco\, CA | 2024 | Following the Road to Ose Tura is a series of four different 25-minute-long ritual dance theater performances/ceremonies. Each day features a different 25-minute-long performance ritual. Each ritual will be repeated four times on the day it is performed. Each 25-minute performance ritual will happen in four different locations. Two of the performance ritual locations will be outside in two visible invisible spaces. Two performance ritual locations will be inside in two visible invisible spaces. The entire series of performances will happen over four days. Creative projections and/or screenings of Efeya’s dance film be featured on each performance ritual day. \nFollowing the Road to Ose Tura | The Tour | 2025 – 2027 | After the premiere\, the performance structure of Following the Road to Ose Tura will need to be modified and adjusted for the concert stage. The presenters listed below have expressed an interest and commitment to booking Following the Road to Ose Tura.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - SPARK - July 14 @ 2PM
DESCRIPTION:SPARK\nJuly 12-14\, 2024 – One Weekend Only! \nSPARK is a thought-provoking and inspiring theatrical experience that captures the beauty and the drama of life and transformation. Told through the voices of 10 women\, SPARK is a tapestry of multi-layered personal stories\, movement and soul-stirring music covering identity\, loss\, love and growth. \nCreated by Tami McCarthy (Actor\, Artistic Director\, Writer\, Producer)\, SPARK is a profound journey into the depths of the human experience inspired by Tami’s own life. The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation. Together\, we reveal the malleable nature and complexity of the human experience\, and share in a revelatory moment that we are not alone.\n \nCreated\, Written\, Produced by Tami McCarthy.

SUMMARY:Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project - at Ossining Waterfront!
DESCRIPTION:Join Max Lazarowitz in building and devising Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project! \nThere will be no workshop at BAC on July 14. Join Max at the Ossining waterfront to learn more about Hudson Holes! \nMy name is Max Lazarowitz and I am in 9th grade at Ossining High School. I have lived in this town my entire life and I am committed to helping the Ossining community through creative projects. During the pandemic\, I proposed to the town to build a mini golf course to spread awareness about climate change. Not only is mini golf one of my favorite activities\, but it is fun and affordable for people of all ages. \nAfter submitting a letter and drawings to the town\, I was asked to participate in the Ossining Earth Day Festival and worked with a carpenter to build 2 prototype holes. The interest was overwhelming and after having it there twice (2022 and 2023)\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) and our Town Supervisor and Mayor reached out to me to discuss next steps. This led to a connection with an organization called Submerse NY whose mission is to fund three local art projects that focus on the rising concern of flooding in the Hudson Valley. After a few meetings with everyone and sharing my plans and vision for this course\, I was the recipient of a grant from Submerse to make this happen. I am so excited for this opportunity! \nEach hole will be designed around the topic of climate change and the impact of increased flooding on our area. While I am bringing this project to Ossining\, I am hoping that everyone in our community and schools (kids and adults) will help me create it!  My goal is to use as many repurposed and recycled materials to build the course. I will be leading workshops through Bethany Arts Community so people of all ages can join me in creating different aspects of each hole.

SUMMARY:SPARK - July 13 @ 8PM
DESCRIPTION:SPARK\nJuly 12-14\, 2024 – One Weekend Only! \nSPARK is a thought-provoking and inspiring theatrical experience that captures the beauty and the drama of life and transformation. Told through the voices of 10 women\, SPARK is a tapestry of multi-layered personal stories\, movement and soul-stirring music covering identity\, loss\, love and growth. \nCreated by Tami McCarthy (Actor\, Artistic Director\, Writer\, Producer)\, SPARK is a profound journey into the depths of the human experience inspired by Tami’s own life. The experience weaves together a chorus of unique and powerful voices as the women in the cast reveal true life-changing moments when divine intervention or instinct takes control\, leading them to a spark that nurtured their spirit and lit the path ahead. \nSPARK serves as a mirror\, highlighting how we are all connected as it prompts audience members to reflect on their own moments of self-discovery while celebrating the resiliency of the human spirit. At times deeply jarring\, but ultimately uplifting\, SPARK encourages viewers to confront the complexities of life and\, in doing so\, find a sense of euphoric liberation. Together\, we reveal the malleable nature and complexity of the human experience\, and share in a revelatory moment that we are not alone.\n \nCreated\, Written\, Produced by Tami McCarthy. Creative Team: Directed by: Beth Spitalny\, Serena Norr\, Co-Writer and Co-Producer\, Music by Becki Davis and Lynne Barasch. Featuring Spoken Word Performances by Serena Norr\, Violet Benny\, Luz Michelle\, Monique Ford\, Shelley Molad\, Sarah Sanders\, Lynne Barasch\, Tami McCarthy\, and Shauna Lane; with a special performance by Inez Wilson and special appearance by Medicine Woman + Spiritual Healer Vasiliki Lagoudis. \nShowtimes\nFriday\, July 12\, 2024 8PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 2PM\nSaturday\, July 13\, 2024 8PM\nSunday\, July 14\, 2024 2PM \n$35 General Admission/$30 Senior/Student \nTickets for this show are non-refundable.

SUMMARY:Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Max Lazarowitz in building and devising Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project! Feel free to join us for one or all of the Community Workshops! \nWorkshops will be held on June 9\, June 15\, June 23\, and July 14\, 2024 from 1-4PM! Sign up above for June 23’s workshop. \nRSVP Encouraged\, Walk-ins Welcome!  \nMy name is Max Lazarowitz and I am in 9th grade at Ossining High School. I have lived in this town my entire life and I am committed to helping the Ossining community through creative projects. During the pandemic\, I proposed to the town to build a mini golf course to spread awareness about climate change. Not only is mini golf one of my favorite activities\, but it is fun and affordable for people of all ages. \nAfter submitting a letter and drawings to the town\, I was asked to participate in the Ossining Earth Day Festival and worked with a carpenter to build 2 prototype holes. The interest was overwhelming and after having it there twice (2022 and 2023)\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) and our Town Supervisor and Mayor reached out to me to discuss next steps. This led to a connection with an organization called Submerse NY whose mission is to fund three local art projects that focus on the rising concern of flooding in the Hudson Valley. After a few meetings with everyone and sharing my plans and vision for this course\, I was the recipient of a grant from Submerse to make this happen. I am so excited for this opportunity! \nEach hole will be designed around the topic of climate change and the impact of increased flooding on our area. While I am bringing this project to Ossining\, I am hoping that everyone in our community and schools (kids and adults) will help me create it!  My goal is to use as many repurposed and recycled materials to build the course. I will be leading workshops through Bethany Arts Community so people of all ages can join me in creating different aspects of each hole. Workshops will include brainstorming\, painting\, and constructing!

SUMMARY:Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Max Lazarowitz in building and devising Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project! Feel free to join us for one or all of the Community Workshops! \nWorkshops will be held on June 9\, June 15\, June 23\, and July 14\, 2024 from 1-4PM! Sign up above for June 15’s workshop. \nRSVP Encouraged\, Walk-ins Welcome!  \nMy name is Max Lazarowitz and I am in 9th grade at Ossining High School. I have lived in this town my entire life and I am committed to helping the Ossining community through creative projects. During the pandemic\, I proposed to the town to build a mini golf course to spread awareness about climate change. Not only is mini golf one of my favorite activities\, but it is fun and affordable for people of all ages. \nAfter submitting a letter and drawings to the town\, I was asked to participate in the Ossining Earth Day Festival and worked with a carpenter to build 2 prototype holes. The interest was overwhelming and after having it there twice (2022 and 2023)\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) and our Town Supervisor and Mayor reached out to me to discuss next steps. This led to a connection with an organization called Submerse NY whose mission is to fund three local art projects that focus on the rising concern of flooding in the Hudson Valley. After a few meetings with everyone and sharing my plans and vision for this course\, I was the recipient of a grant from Submerse to make this happen. I am so excited for this opportunity! \nEach hole will be designed around the topic of climate change and the impact of increased flooding on our area. While I am bringing this project to Ossining\, I am hoping that everyone in our community and schools (kids and adults) will help me create it!  My goal is to use as many repurposed and recycled materials to build the course. I will be leading workshops through Bethany Arts Community so people of all ages can join me in creating different aspects of each hole. Workshops will include brainstorming\, painting\, and constructing!

SUMMARY:Praise! Exploratory Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Praise! Exploratory Workshop\nDate: Sunday\, March 10\, 2024 3-5PM\nCost: FREE!\nSpace is limited\, registration required. \nJoin Artists-in-Residence\, Vincent E Thomas & Gabriel Thom Pasculli\, to explore the material of Praise! as it is being developed. The performers and participants will engage in viewing and experimenting with prepared material from Praise! and in collective dialogue. The experience will be a mixture of a performance\, a story circle\, and a dinner party! \nABOUT PRAISE!\nPraise! is co-created and performed by Vincent E Thomas of VTDance and Gabriel Thom Pasculli in collaboration with Desiré Graham | Created with the support of NPN Creation Fund\, co-commissioned by Bethany Arts Community\, Sandglass Theater\, and The Baltimore Theater Project. \nPraise! is an immersive event exploring self and spirit through a child’s experience of Church. Moments of dance\, song\, testimony and confession are interwoven through collective dialogue and story sharing. Praise! opens the door into a conversation around body\, queerness\, and sacred celebration in a way that takes nothing for granted. While the two performers crisscross memories and fantasies of divine encounters\, the piece asks how we reconcile past experiences to make new meaning for the present. \nVincent E Thomas is a Black gay man\, a professional dancer\, and arts educator whose dance company\, VTDance\, just celebrated its 20th Anniversary in Baltimore. Vincent grew up in Edgefield\, SC where he sang joyfully (and dutifully) in the choir at his Southern Baptist Church\, and yet he felt as though he had to spend much of his adult life washing the church from his soul. \nGabriel Thom Pasculli is a queer\, white-bodied and second-generation Italian-Irish-American\, an ensemble theater-maker and arts educator who has been working in Chicago. Gabriel Thom grew up in the Catholic Church in New Jersey and has spent his adult life seeking the mystical experience he failed to find in the religion of his childhood. \nBoth artists are returning to a time they thought they had left behind. They are returning to the tender questions they developed as young people\, torn between their inner desires and the confounding morality of their Christian communities. With great curiosity\, intimacy\, risk and availability\, Praise! is asking how we reconcile those past experiences and conflicted parts of our younger selves to make new meaning in the present. \nDeveloped at Dartmouth College’s VoxLab and at Art Omi in New York State\, an excerpt of Praise! was featured as part of VTDance’s 20th Anniversary Concert at The Baltimore Theater Project in April 2023. \n——- \nAbout The Artists\nThe project’s current ensemble of collaborators includes Desiré Graham\, a New Haven-based project facilitator working in original theater and musical performance\, and Malia’Kekia Nicolini\, a Massachusetts-based dancer\, choreographer\, artistic director and educator. Additionally\, the work is being developed with Dwayne Hess\, a Baltimore-based spiritual guide who will be advising the project in the creation of community dialogues. \nVincent E. Thomas\, dancer\, choreographer and teacher\, received his MFA in Dance from Florida State University and a BME in Music from the University of South Carolina. He has danced with Dance Repertory Theatre (FSU)\, Randy James Dance Works (NY/NJ)\, EDGEWORKS Dance Theater (DC)\, and Liz Lerman Dance Exchange (MD). His choreography has been presented at various national and international venues including DUMBO Festival (NY)\, Velocity Festival (DC)\, Modern Moves Festival (DC)\, Philly Fringe (PA)\, Edinburgh Fringe Festival (UK-Scotland)\, Barcelona and Madrid\, Spain\, Avignon\, France\, Athens\, Greece\, Bari\, Italy\, Copenhagen\, Denmark\, Shanghai\, Taipei\, and Singapore. He received rave reviews for his performance of “Come Change” (2012) and “iWitness” (2014) in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Scotland). Theater credits: Movement Coach/Choreographer for Everyman Theater’s Brother’s Size by Tarell Alvin McCraney in Baltimore\, MD (2012)\, Mosaic Theatre’s Unexplored Interior by Jay Sander in Washington\, DC (2015)\, and Everyman Theater’s Los Otros by Ellen Fitzhugh in Baltimore\, MD (2017)\, and Associate Choreographer/Movement Coach for Williamstown Theater Festival’s Most Happy in Concert in Williamstown\, MA (2022) directed by Daniel Fish. He is the Artistic Director/Choreographer of the national touring What’s Going On project. Vincent was awarded the 2017 Pola Nirenska Award for Outstanding Achievement in Dance (DC)\, the 2019 University System of Maryland Regents Faculty Award for Excellence in Research\, Scholarship & Creative Activity\, the 2020 MDEA Living Legacy Award\, a 2021 William G. Baker\, Jr. Memorial Fund Awardee\, and a 2023 Black History Month Honoree for Richland District II (SC). Vincent is the Associate Choreographer for the INTELLIGENCE Opera\, written and conceived by Jake Heggie\, Gene Sheer\, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar\, premiere at Houston Grand Opera. He is an Urban Bush Women BOLD Facilitator\, faculty member for the UBW Summer Institutes (NY)\, and Professor of Dance at Towson University (MD). \nHis multi-dimensional company VTDance builds on the use of contemporary dance\, improvisation\, text/ movement\, a variety of sound sources\, and collaborations with other artists\, including dancers\, musicians\, poets\, visual artists\, and others [to be discovered]. These ideas coupled with witty\, poignant\, athletic and gestural movement are the rich palette for VTDance. www.vtdance.org \nGabriel Thom Pasculli (he/they) is a US/Turtle Island-based performance artist\, teacher\, and theater director. Exploring the intersections of performance and decolonial praxis through body\, change and belonging\, Gabriel Thom embraces interdisciplinary processes of co-creation. For eight years\, Gabriel Thom was an artistic director of Walkabout Theater in Chicago (now called Wender Collective)\, with whom Gabriel Thom directed a series of outdoor public stilt spectacles as well as internationally-touring ensemble performances acclaimed as “surreal\,” “sublime\,” “gorgeous and exhilarating.” During the same period Gabriel Thom was a founding co-director of VoxFest\, an annual summer festival of innovative new works-in-progress at Dartmouth College. Recently\, Gabriel Thom was the creative producer at Sandglass Theater in Putney\, VT\, a puppet theater dedicated to social dialogue.

She sings to connect to a past that is not just her’s\, but a history of many. She writes to reconcile the shade and the sun. She collaborates\, in a constant search for those who also feel the tug to be elsewhere. From 2019-2022\, she was based in Tuscany\, Italy as a company member at the Workcenter of Jerzy Grotowski and Thomas Richards. Currently based in the U.S.\, Graham commits to the cultivation of artistic spaces that foster transparency\, active listening and anti-oppressive practices as a requirement. In alignment with these values\, Desiré works with Double Edge Theatre and VLA Dance as a recurring artistic collaborator. Additionally\, she curates a space for black queer performing artists to create inside of The Black Residency. Graham also hosts a workshop series entitled\, Somewhere in Between\, an invitation for BIPOC and ALAANA New Haven residents to discover the use of communal singing\, give weight to their vibrational soul\, activate\, and call on others to join in. She is freely in-process\, if you have any questions about what she’s done or where she’s been\, please ask about it to be about it. \nThis event is a Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather\, engage\, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partner. \nPhoto Credit: Vincent E.

SUMMARY:Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Max Lazarowitz in building and devising Hudson Holes: A Community Mini Golf Project! There will be two workshops with two\, 2-hour time slots. Feel free to join us for one or both of them! \nRSVP Encouraged\, Walk-ins Welcome!  \nMy name is Max Lazarowitz and I am in 9th grade at Ossining High School. I have lived in this town my entire life and I am committed to helping the Ossining community through creative projects. During the pandemic\, I proposed to the town to build a mini golf course to spread awareness about climate change. Not only is mini golf one of my favorite activities\, but it is fun and affordable for people of all ages. \nAfter submitting a letter and drawings to the town\, I was asked to participate in the Ossining Earth Day Festival and worked with a carpenter to build 2 prototype holes. The interest was overwhelming and after having it there twice (2022 and 2023)\, Bethany Arts Community (BAC) and our Town Supervisor and Mayor reached out to me to discuss next steps. This led to a connection with an organization called Submerse NY whose mission is to fund three local art projects that focus on the rising concern of flooding in the Hudson Valley. \nAfter a few meetings with everyone and sharing my plans and vision for this course\, I was the recipient of a grant from Submerse to make this happen. I am so excited for this opportunity!  \nEach hole will be designed around the topic of climate change and the impact of increased flooding on our area. While I am bringing this project to Ossining\, I am hoping that everyone in our community and schools (kids and adults) will help me create it! My goal is to use as many repurposed and recycled materials as possible and will be asking for specific donations and contributions. I will also be leading workshops through Bethany Arts Community so people of all ages can join me in building this mini golf course for Ossining. \nPlease sign-up for a workshop! I will be holding them on Saturday 12/2 and 12/9 from 1-3PM and 3-5PM at BAC.

SUMMARY:"Kinetic Grace" Work-In-Progress Showing with Ryan McNamara
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Kinetic Grace” Work-In-Progress Showing\nDate & Time: Saturday\, October 28\, 2023 2-3PM\n\n\nPlease join us as we walk you through the creation process of our piece “Kinetic Grace.” \nThis piece came out of asking ourselves\, “After all these years\, what do we want out of performance?” Somehow the answer to that question involves making a musical about a cult who believes that dance will lead us to transcendence. \n\nThis is our first residency of actually constructing “Kinetic Grace\,” so we are as excited as you are to see what we have come up with.This event is a BAC Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC\, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program.

SUMMARY:Poor People’s Campaign Art and Culture Workshop
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday August 13 beginning at 2pm\, the New York State Poor People’s Campaign Art & Culture Committee will conclude its weekend retreat with a public workshop at Bethany Arts Community (www.bethanyarts.org) in Ossining\, NY\, in partnership with the local community and youth organization ENUBuilds (www.enubuilds.com). The workshop will explore how Art and Culture infuses the spirit of collectivity into struggle\, helping to transform “Me” into “We”. \nAt 2pm\, coordinators from the Hudson Valley Poor People’s Campaign will lead a community art build\, an opportunity to share messages of justice through the art of silk screening and other media. Participants will have the chance to take away pieces to display at home or bring to future events. Children of all ages are welcome to participate with an adult/caregiver present. \nAt 4pm\, the Arts and Culture team will share selections from the Poor People’s Campaign’s “Movement Songbook”\, as the NY State campaign moves toward its first album of movement songs. Participants will hear how these songs continue to evolve in 21st century movement organizing through the creativity of artists and communities.  We will also hear from the NY State PPC’s Media Team\, which will explore filmmaking as a powerful way to “shift the narrative by shifting the narrator”\, exemplified in the recently-completed documentary “Face of the State”. \nMore About The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival \nIn 1968\, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and many others called for a “revolution of values” in America. They sought to build a broad\, fusion movement that could unite poor and impacted communities across the country. Their name was a direct cry from the underside of history: The Poor People’s Campaign. \nToday\, the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival has picked up this unfinished work. From Alaska to Arkansas\, the Bronx to the border\, people are coming together to confront the interlocking evils of systemic racism\, poverty\, ecological devastation\, militarism and the war economy\, and the distorted moral narrative of religious nationalism. We understand that as a nation we are at a critical juncture — that we need a movement that will shift the moral narrative\, impact policies and elections at every level of government\, and build lasting power for poor and impacted people
