Our 2020 Visionary Aqeela Sherrills possesses an indomitable spirit which moves him to transform the hearts\, minds\, and actions of those around him. We can’t wait for you to get to know him! \nAqeela asks\, “what is happening that is preventing us from experiencing joy?” To live in peaceful community\, the safety\, dignity\, and joy of every member of our communities must be valued\, cherished\, and appreciated. Communities around the world instead often experience limited\, biased\, and violent public safety strategies that regularly exacerbate rather than reduce harm and trauma. Aqeela steadfastly explains there is a point of entry for the public to play a key role in public safety. Current systems of law enforcement cannot be the single point of contact. We need to reimagine public safety to not only reduce violence but also to create a true presence of safety. As Aqeela fervently demonstrates\, we need to build compassion and understanding into our systems. Dive into the complexities with us\, and learn how you can contribute to the collective work of reimagining public safety for peaceful\, joyful communities. \nWe will open the call with Rev. angel Kyodo Williams\, activist\, author\, and ordained Zen priest. We will then move into a conversation between Euphrates Founder\, Janessa Wilder\, and our 2020 Visionary of the Year\, Aqeela Sherrills. And finally\, Aqeela will take time to respond to the questions\, you\, our community have. \nYou must register to attend this call. Please click here to register and receive the Zoom link. After registering\, you will receive an email providing you with call details. \nWe look forward to sharing space with you on December 11th!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to register for the December 11 call!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick here to invest in our Visionary of the Year program!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://sivicdev.sivicouncil.org/event/reimagining-public-safety-transforming-community-and-sustaining-peace/ LOCATION:CA\, United States CATEGORIES:Dialogue END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201210T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20201210T180000 DTSTAMP:20260427T085838 CREATED:20201210T190601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201210T190601Z UID:4046-1607619600-1607623200@sivicdev.sivicouncil.org SUMMARY:Human Rights Day - A Conversation with Bay Area Interfaith Councils DESCRIPTION:In commemoration of UN Human Rights Day\, join Islamic Networks Group\, the San Francisco Foundation\, the Northern California Board of Rabbis\, and leaders of seven Bay Area interfaith councils in a conversation on human rights work in the Bay Area.
