Seattle Building Bridges Workshop
When: Registration: Download this flyer for more information and post it to promote the workshop. |
How have Muslims, Arabs, and South Asians in the Seattle area been affected by the erosion of civil liberties since September 2001? How can local Unitarian-Universalist, Muslim, and other members of the Seattle-area community come together as allies to create a more just and supportive society?
Join us for a daylong bridge-building workshop to learn about the civil-liberties violations happening at the local and national level. During the afternoon, we will brainstorm effective ways to address these violations.
The workshop has been planned by a diverse group of participants, including members from the following organizations:
- American Muslims of Puget Sound
- Council on American Islamic Relations
- East Shore Unitarian Church
- Edmonds Unitarian Universalist Church
- Muslim Association of Puget Sound
- University Unitarian Church
Presenters include representatives from the American Civil Liberties Union, local religious leaders, and national civil-liberties organizations. James Yee, former Muslim chaplain at Guantanamo Bay, will deliver a keynote speech.
