On Friday May 8th an unprecedented meeting of faith leaders was held in the Madison Urban Ministry offices. We came together over the systemic injustices that exist in our County and out of concern for our community. We know that as clergy and people of faith we are called across traditions to work for justice. Our meeting on May 8th represents the beginning of our work as a faith coalition, we recognize that there is much, much more to be done and we pledge to continue
Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 12th at 2:30 p.m. the District Attorney will announce his decision regarding the officer involved shooting of Tony Robinson. We know that the decision, regardless of what it is, will not heal our divided and suffering community. We know that our community will still be in pain.
The Dane County Boys and Girls Club CEO Michael Johnson, along with other Black Leadership Council members, from the NAACP and African American Council of Churches, have released a public service announcement urging parents to talk to their children ahead of the decision. View the announcement.
