Wednesday, March 26, 4:30 pm MST (7:30 pm EDT) via Zoom
In this one-hour webinar, award-winning author Katherine Stewart will examine the dangerous rise of religious nationalism in America, exploring how politicized faith and financial interests are being weaponized to undermine democratic values. Drawing from her new book, Money, Lies, and God: Inside the Movement to Destroy American Democracy, Stewart will reveal the powerful forces behind this movement and its threat to democracy and real religious freedom.
The webinar will address how the weaponization of faith and the proliferation of disinformation are undermining the foundations of our democracy, and explore how American Jews can help mount an effective resistance. Moderated by Lynn Davis of the Rabbi Joseph H. Gumbiner Community Action Project, a program of Tucson Jewish Museum & Holocaust Center and Paul Golin of the Society for Humanistic Judaism, this session will offer insights into the moral collapse within religious extremism, the role of money in driving these movements, and practical actions Jews can take to protect democratic values and religious freedom for all.
