In this current season, rising leaders are studying the leadership of those who came before and adding their energy to the ongoing work of dismantling racism.

As a part of our Town Hall series on anti-racism, we present a panel of younger leaders to discuss their strategies for changing the world and their encouragement for partners in this work. They will respond to your questions about their vision for how to take action with intention and how the Church can draw from the wisdom of the past and hope for the future. Moderator Erin Hawkins will facilitate the conversation.

Our hope is that this Town Hall series will help equip the United Methodist Church as we engage in our anti-racism work across the Connection.

Learn more about the panelists and submit a question on UMC.org.
