Closing KeynoteKatherine StewartAuthor of The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism and The Good News Club: The Christian Right’s Stealth Assault on America’s Children
Katherine Stewart writes about the religious and political right for a wide variety of publications including The New York Times op ed, The New Republic, and The Guardian. Her latest book is The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of Religious Nationalism. Her previous book, The Good News Club, looked at efforts by the religious right, to infiltrate and undermine public education.
Katherine will discuss the attacks by Christian Nationalist and right-wing extremists on abortion (and bodily autonomy more widely), their war on women and gender equity, how this is manifesting in our politics, and how those of us fighting to preserve and strengthen church-state separation can be a part of the solution. She will be joined by panelists Rachel Laser and Rev. Traci Blackmon. |
