Join us for a discussion of some of the important concepts behind slogans you may have seen and heard in recent protests. Short phrases and terms such as “defund/abolish the police,” “reparations,” and “Black Lives Matter,” can bring up many questions and raise barriers among would-be allies. Members of this panel have offered their time as activists to explain the impact of current structures and systems and how these terms describe changes that are essential to a more just community.

Confirmed panelists:

  • Rev. David Hart, practicing attorney, womanist ally author and lead pastor of Sherman Church, a growing church in Madison, WI.
  • Angela Hicks, Peace & Justice Commission Chair, WI Council of Churches, volunteer for Common Ground, lay leader at Bradford Memorial AME, Milwaukee
  • Pardeep Kaleka, Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, former police officer, anti-racist speaker and educator on white supremacy
  • Linda Ketcham, Executive Director of Just Dane (formerly Madison-Area Urban Ministry), experienced advocate for systems change

Following reflections by each panelist, audience members will have an opportunity to submit questions for them to address.
