About this event

Join us via Zoom, or in person at Second Unitarian Church, for this final lecture in a series dedicated to exploring the intersection of Unitarian Universalism and the prison abolition movement. Rev. Jason Lydon and responding scholars will discuss the violent theological underpinnings and inherent racism of today's prison system. This promises to be an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and deepen your understanding of this important topic.

Rev. Lydon is minister of Second Unitarian Church of Chicago. He previously served as director of Black and Pink, a nationally networked grassroots organization working to abolish the prison industrial complex while meeting the immediate needs of LGBT/HIV+ prisoners.

The respondent for the first lecture is Prof. Vincent Lloyd, Director of Africana Studies at Villanova University
