Posted on Posted in Event

 

Our Annual Picnic held September 29 featured our guest, Pulitzer Prize-winning Tony Messenger, columnist of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, and the popular singer, Laka, with her band! We had over 60 people in attendance, and everybody had a wonderful time.

Mr. Messenger, author of “Profit and Punishment: How America Criminalizes the Poor in the Name of Justice”, spoke about how the far-right uses laws intended to further religious freedom to impose the narrow religious interpretations  of  a small minority on the rest of society.
