I Am The Other: Countering Stereotypes, Religious Illiteracy, and Hate Crimes

In the wake of recent hate crimes against the Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, and Sikh communities, we’ve witnessed an increase in ignorance and stereotypes that have lead to violent attacks and dangerous misrepresentations that cause great harm to minority communities. Just in the past few months, a Sikh man in Kent, Washington was attacked, while there have been a string of anti-Semitic incidents and bomb threats to Jewish centers across the country.

Join the Silicon Valley Interreligious Council (SiVIC) and the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) on Sunday, April 30, 2017 for a diverse interfaith panel discussion to address the important issues that are currently facing minority religious communities in the U.S.

Location: Fremont Hindu Temple and Community Center, 3676 Delaware Drive, Fremont, CA 94538. More details can be found on the SiVIC web site .

Sunday Study Session: Martin Luther King's “The American Dream”

We all know Martin Luther King, Jr. from his civil rights work, but in his July 4, 1965 sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church, he spoke about another topic near and dear to his heart: economic justice (text of the speech is here). As we all know, this topic is all too relevant nearly 52 years later. Let’s get together to discuss Rev. King’s views and consider what we might do to continue his fight for economic justice. Becky will lead this discussion.

Please RSVP for location details, as this event is held at a private home. Use our Meetup page if you have a Meetup account, or contact us by email or this site’s contact form .
