Hear from leaders who are educating people of faith and communities on how to better create places of belonging.
Panelists for the conversation:
- Lama Rod Owens, Buddhist minister and activist
- Rev. Don Abram, Founder of Pride in the Pews
- Rev. Nicole M. Garcia, Faith Director at the National LGBTQ+ Task Force
- Tahil Sharma, Regional Coordinator for North America at the United Religions Initiative
