Joyful Resistance Lenten Series

Last “Joyful Resistance” Lenten Evening Program, Tuesday, April 4

Please join us for our final session of “Joyful Resistance” on Tuesday, April 4.   Supper is served between 5-6pm, program is from 6-7pm and night worship is from 7-7:20pm.   Because Ann Braden’s session on March 14 was snowed out, we rescheduled her to speak on April 4 on the topic of “Practical Tools of Resistance.”   Below is more background about Ann:

Ann Braden is a Brattleboro-based community organizer. She founded and leads the statewide advocacy group GunSenseVT, which helped to successfully passed a gun violence prevention bill in 2015 and is continuing to push for Universal Background Checks. She also recently started the Local Love Brigade, a group of Vermonters banding together to respond to incidents of hate with giant helpings of love. Inspired by the simplicity and power of sending love postcards to victims of hate, nine other states have followed suit and started Local Love Brigades of their own. Ann is part of the group putting together the Windham County Action Network (WeCAN), which is focused on streamlining communication to help people connect and plug in to the good work being done by grassroots organizations in the area. She is a former middle school social studies teacher and lives in town with her husband and two children.
