SUMMARY:Are Race and Religion on the 2024 US Election Ballot?

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a lunchtime discussion of race and religion in th
 e 2024 US election campaign. Keith Magee\, renowned intellectual\, theol
 ogian and scholar will be in discussion with writer and academic Gary Yo
 unge. Feel free to bring your lunch and hot drinks will be available.\n\
 nOn the campaign trail\, race and religion are once more being weaponise
 d before our eyes for electoral gain. Trump is seeking to win over the v
 ery Black and Brown voters for whom his MAGA movement has shown nothing 
 but contempt through its peddling of racist tropes and demonising of the
  Other. Meanwhile\, an ultra-conservative Supreme Court is trampling ove
 r minority rights in the name of religion.\n\nIs this how we strive to “
 form a more perfect union?” The United States is a nation that is rich i
 n resources\, but poor in morality. As a result\, inequalities that shou
 ld have been eradicated long ago continue to fester and high levels of d
 eprivation exacerbate polarisation. In these fraught times\, how can we 
 come together to build a United States in which true justice is accessib
 le to all\, whatever our race\, religion\, or political beliefs?\n\nKeit
 h Magee is author of Prophetic Justice: Race\, Religion\, and Politics. 
 In this talk\, hosted by Gary Younge\, he will discuss the impact of rac
 e and religion on our politics.\n\nThe discussion will be followed by a 
 book signing.
