Religious Left WisCon 31 panel)
Politics, Race, Class, and Religion•Conference Room 5• Monday, 10:00-11:15 a.m.
Last year's "Where is the Religious Left?" panel determined that the Religious Left is right here at WisCon. Now it's time for the second part of the conversation. What specific actions can we take both to make ourselves more visible and to work on the social-justice issues dear to our hearts and our faith traditions? How can we do this without falling into the "us/them" dichotomy the Right has used so destructively? In the current climate, is it even possible to avoid the politics of opposition?
