Church, State, and Civic Action
EVENT NOTES
Doors for this event will open at 6:30 PM. Town Hall events are approximately 75 minutes long.
Congressman Jared Huffman and attorney Skye Perryman come to Town Hall Seattle for a conversation about their new books, No Prophets (Huffman) and Ordinary People, Extraordinary Times (Perryman), joined in discussion by Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. Together, they will explore the shocking extent of Christian nationalism’s reach in our government, and the everyday choices citizens can make to speak up and protect our future.
Drawing on their distinct experiences in government and law, Huffman and Perryman examine issues including the separation of church and state, democratic institutions, and civic participation. Their discussion will consider how these topics intersect with current political and legal debates, as well as the ways individuals can take action in their own communities.
