CRS invites you to Confronting Pharaoh: A Free Community Organizing and Movement Training, a two-hour Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Faith In Action Assembly rooted in Dr. King’s legacy of faith, courage, and collective action.
Dr. King understood that justice doesn’t move on its own. Justice moves when people are equipped to confront systems of oppression, organize together, and demand change. Confronting Pharaoh prepares participants to identify decision-makers, understand how change happens, and take meaningful action in their own communities.
This training is open to everyone.
With only 100 seats available, spots are filling quickly. Don’t miss this opportunity to join people of faith and conscience, organizers, congregations, coalition partners, and community members ready to move from reflection to action.
