“The Fight for Full Equality Under The Law ”
DEFENDING THE 14TH AMENDMENT
On the 153rd Anniversary of the ratification of the 14th Amendment, Inclusive Justice is hosting an important forum on the 14th Amendment and the struggle to achieve full equality under the law. Our keynote speaker will be Rogers M. Smith: recent President of the American Political Science Association. Our respondents will be Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, Heaster Wheeler, Assistant Secretary of State of Michigan and former Detroit NAACP executive , and Jay Kaplan, the staff attorney for the ACLU of Michigan's LGBT Project.
As you know, right now Michigan has no explicit nondiscrimination protections for the LGBTQ community in housing, health care or in public spaces at the state or federal level. In order to help right this wrong, Inclusive Justice will be hosting a training for all interested parties on how to build and sharpen your skills in engaging with our elected officials on advocating for nondiscrimination protections. This national training is entitled “Turning a Sermon into a Soundbite” and was held on Monday, January 11 from 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm.
