Climate Cafe

In this bi-monthly Linking Conversation series, we will think and talk together about what’s happening in the world—such as extreme weather, political moments, and cultural flashpoints—and about linking thought and action, being and doing, the internal and external worlds. Other event times here.

We invite you to join us for an evening of reflection, education, and action. Together, we will remember what has been lost, understand the causes of global species decline, and explore the ways we can create a more hopeful future.

Interfaith Center of New York, Union Theological Seminary, The Riverside Church, The Beacon, and the Interfaith Alliance will convene diverse religious leaders, civic officials, community activists, and concerned New Yorkers to explore past and present examples of faith community resistance to authoritarian rule. We will learn from the experiences of faith leaders and democratic movements around the world, in order to defend American democracy today. Keynote address by Dr. Ruth Ben-Ghiat.
