Description:
America is devolving into a Christofascist "broligarchy" and feeding the masses a steady stream of chaos and propaganda. What does it mean to protect democracy, religious freedom, and inclusive community values in Arizona today? Let's talk about it - together.
Jeanne Casteen, the Executive Director of Secular AZ will discuss how we must step outside our comfort zones and stand up for democracy, every single day and in every thing we do.
This conversation is about more than politics - it's about the kind of Arizona we want to live in. Come hear how local leaders are fighting for separation of religion and government, and why it matters for all of us.
