ARREST 3 -- Economic Justice
Poverty in America and elsewhere is intertwined with the rise of fear and the narratives that justify the inevitability of poverty and support the proposition that rising authoritarianism is needed to produce or maintain social stability. In this series we will examine the structure of our current economic systems and unpack some of the underlying assumptions embedded in those structures that help create and widen the economic disparities seen in the US and the world. Understanding the causes of the economic disparity along racial, ethnic, and sexual lines can help us address these disparities in more productive ways. If we are serious about moving toward a beloved community with love at its center, we need to genuinely understand the harsh reality of our neighbors living in poverty and the forces that resist their moving out of poverty. Come and explore with us the underlying structures and potential alternatives that could help us live into our vision of advancing justice. All sessions are currently scheduled to be held via Zoom. April 20 and May 4, 11, and
18. (7:00 - 9:00 pm)
