First and Third Wednesday Afternoons 3PM
Our current areas of focus are supporting our immigrant neighbors, LGBTQIA+ allyship, fighting Christian nationalism and promoting human rights for Palestinians. If you are passionate about these or topics, drop in to Justice Cafe – we would love to hear from you.
As People of Hope we strive to walk beside those most impacted by injustice…the immigrant and refugee, our LGBTQIA+ siblings, people of color, the unhoused, the creatures of the Earth…to name just a few.
Together, we are better able to face the suffering of the world in love and to have a greater impact with more joy as we work for justice. Learn or share about opportunities to get involved…as a community we can make a difference.
