SUMMARY:Death Penalty Action's 30th Annual "Starvin' for Justice" Fast & Vigil to Abolish the Death Penalty
DESCRIPTION:Red Letter Christians\, in partnership with dozens of other national and local organizations\, is sponsoring this summer’s annual “Fast and Vigil to Abolish the Death Penalty” from June 29 to July 2 in Washington\, DC.  You’re invited to join us!\nThursday\, June 29 through Sunday\, July 2: The 30th Annual “Starvin’ for Justice” Fast & Vigil to Abolish the Death Penalty at the US Supreme Court in Washington\, DC. This highly visual symbolic protest event draws death penalty opponents from across the country and from other countries. \nThe purpose of the event is to maintain a presence at the Supreme Court between the dates of anniversaries the death penalty was ruled unconstitutional in practice in 1972\, and when new laws were upheld in 1976. \nFor these four days\, death penalty abolitionists from around the country will gather at the steps of the Supreme Court to call for an end to capital punishment in the United States. It is an energizing grassroots week of training\, advocacy\, action\, community and education. Tens of thousands of tourists and locals\, from all over the U.S. and throughout the world\, pass by our vigil and table\, so the opportunity for dialogue and discussion at a real grass-roots level is invaluable to the movement. \nAdditionally\, each evening we hear stories from murder victim family members\, death row exonerees\, death row families\, and leaders in the national abolition movement. Note that fasting is optional\, and participation can be as much or as little as you want it to be – come for all four days\, or just for a few hours. You can also join the online component to watch and listen to our daily teach-ins virtually. \nFind out more and register at www.abolition.org. \nPrograms starting at 6pm each evening of the four days will feature leading figures like Rev. Sharon Risher\, whose mother and two cousins were killed in the Charleston church shooting\, noted death penalty expert Robert Dunham\, Randy Gardner\, brother of the last man executed in the US by firing squad\, Charles Keith and Rodrick Reed\, brothers of high-profile innocent prisoners awaiting exoneration\, Ohio’s Kevin Keith and Texas’s Rodney Reed\, Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood\, a spiritual advisor who has accompanied two prisoners to their executions so far this year\, and many more. All activities take place on the sidewalk in front of the US Supreme Court. \nFind out more and register at www.abolition.org.

SUMMARY:RLC Book Club with Dr. Jemar Tisby\, "How to Fight Racism"
DESCRIPTION:How do we effectively confront racial injustice? We need to move beyond talking about racism and start equipping ourselves to fight against it. \nIn this follow-up to the New York Times Bestseller The Color of Compromise\, Jemar Tisby offers an array of actionable items to confront racism. How to Fight Racism introduces a simple framework—the A.R.C. Of Racial Justice—that teaches readers to consistently interrogate their own actions and maintain a consistent posture of anti-racist behavior. \nThe A.R.C. Of Racial Justice is a clear model for how to think about race in productive ways: \nAwareness: educate yourself by studying history\, exploring your personal narrative\, and grasping what God\nsays about the dignity of the human person. \nRelationships: understand the spiritual dimension of race relations and how authentic connections make\nreconciliation real and motivate you to act. \nCommitment: consistently fight systemic racism and work for racial justice by orienting your life to it. \nTisby offers practical tools for following this model and suggests that by applying these principles\, we can help dismantle a social hierarchy long stratified by skin color. He encourages rejection passivity and active participation in the struggle for human dignity. There is hope for transforming our nation and the world\, and you can be part of the solution. \nJemar Tisby is the author of the New York Times bestselling book\, The Color of Compromise: The Truth about the Church’s Complicity in Racism\, How to Fight Racism\, and How to Fight Racism: Young Reader’s Edition. He is also a Professor of History at Simmons College of Kentucky in Louisville. Jemar has been a co-host of the “Pass the Mic” podcast since its inception seven years ago. His writing has been featured in The Washington Post\, The Atlantic\, and the New York Times among others. He is a frequent commentator on outlets such as NPR and CNN’s New Day program. He speaks nationwide on the topics of racial justice\, U.S. history and Christianity. Jemar earned his PhD in history and he studies race\, religion\, and social movements in the 20th century. You can follow his work through his newsletter\, Footnotes\, and on social media at @JemarTisby. \nJoin Red Letter Christians on Zoom with Dr. Jemar Tisby and Shane Claiborne on July 23rd at 7 PM ET to take a deep dive into his newest book\, “How to Fight Racism: Courageous Christianity and the Journey Toward Racial Justice”. \nRegister to join us on Zoom or join Red Letter Christian’s Facebook\, YouTube\, or website live.
