Come learn more about how it works\, and how it makes elections better. \nREGISTER\nFeaturing: \nHelen Hutchison is a past president and active member of the League of Women Voters of Oakland. She has been a League member since 1969 in a number of communities around the country. She is a past President of the League of Women Voters of California and current member of the LWVC board. Professionally Helen is a retired computer systems analyst. She is an active member of Montclair Presbyterian Church in Oakland\, and a foster care volunteer with the East Bay SPCA. \nRev. Dr. Malik JoDavid Sales is a native of Huntsville\, AL and a product of St. John AME Church.  While attending Xavier University of Louisiana\, he accepted his call into the ministry. He graduated Magna cum Laude from Xavier with a B.A. in Theology. After undergrad\, Rev. Sales attended Harvard Divinity School\, where he earned a Master of Theological Studies. Finally\, he concluded his educational preparation at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley\, CA\, where he earned his Ph.D. in Systematic Theology in 2012. His dissertation\, Saving Possibilities\, offered a contemporary perspective on salvation\, evil\, and the Holy Spirit by uniting the insights of various liberation theologies and performance theory.  An eighteen-song album entitled\, The Infinite Struggle [Can’t Won’t Don’t Stop]\, which was written\, performed\, and recorded by Dr. Sales\, accompanied his dissertation. Rev. Sales is the proud pastor of Brookins AME Church\, Oakland CA.

Sales tries to live his life by remembering the words of Jesus in Matthew 25 and the words of 1 John 4:20. “As surely as you did it to the least of these\, you did it it also unto me\,” and “Those who say ‘I love God’ and hate a brother or sister are liars. For those who do not love a brother or sister whom they have seen\, cannot love God whom they have not seen.”

SUMMARY:Environmental and Racial Justice on the Ballot: A Voter Education Event
DESCRIPTION:Environmental and Racial Justice on the Ballot: A Voter Education Event will be held on Saturday\, September 17\, 2022 from 10 to noon.  It’s free and open to the public. \nEvery two years\, California voters are asked to participate in the legislative process by voting on ballot propositions. Unlike legislators\, we don’t have a team of paid research assistants. \nThis online event\, hosted by University Lutheran Chapel\, is designed to help you vote on ballot propositions with greater confidence. Chapel members have done what research we could\, as well as reaching out to policymakers and analysts\, starting with the community organizations to which we already have ties. \nIn keeping with the Chapel’s social justice focus\, the recommendations presenters are offering focus on the potential environmental and racial justice impacts of state\, Berkeley\, and Oakland propositions. When possible\, we will also try to give guidance on how you can more confidently evaluate propositions in the future. \nZoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89238825348?pwd=RFR1Z1dVUSszNHF3QmdLMzdWTitFZz09 \nEvent contact: Rachel Beck\, whollyword@yahoo.com
