Amplify the Dream: Resist Authoritarianism

On January 19, 2026 at Judson Memorial Church in Manhattan, please join the Social Justice Committee of the Metro Association | New York Conference of the United Church of Christ to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  We honor Dr. King by hearing his voice and those of Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer, and others in the Black Freedom Movement, along with advocates for immigrant justice. We'll also learn more about how people of faith are mobilizing their communities to resist authoritarian repression in our own time. 

Our program begins with a gathering at 9 AM for coffee and snacks, and will run until 1 PM. While an RSVP is not required, it would help us plan better if you let us know you're coming.
