SUMMARY:Film Screening and Discussion: A Poor People's Tour of Wall Street
DESCRIPTION:Join us online (May 9th at 5pm EDT) for a film screening of the Poor People’s Tour of Wall Street\, followed by a virtual panel discussion featuring tour creator and guide John Wessel McCoy of the Kairos Center\, filmmaker Chris Nizza\, and members of The People’s Forum. **RSVP below for instructions to join!** \nWhat’s your relationship to Wall Street? Maybe you’re an “essential worker” on the frontline of the pandemic\, putting your own life on the line everyday with no hazard pay and little to no protection for your own health. Perhaps you’re an unemployed or underemployed person fearing how your family will come through these times with nothing but a $1200 stimulus check. Maybe you were already trying to survive unhoused\, unemployed\, and uninsured well before Covid 19 arrived. For some of us\, the fears and uncertainties we’re experiencing may feel new. For a lot of us\, crisis started long before the Spring of 2020. Each day it becomes more clear that the representatives of Wall Street are willing to let masses of people die in the name of their ability to accumulate wealth. And Wall Street has a much bigger voice at present when it comes to how the state responds to the crisis\, and what are the priorities. To be clear\, the priority is to make the wealth flow up. \n \nWALL STREET TRAILER2 from Peter Kinoy on Vimeo. \n“A Poor People’s History of Wall Street” can help bring a historical perspective to our moment.  Each history-drenched street corner on this tour conjures the ghosts of the poor and dispossessed who built the world in which we live.  Starting with the enslaved black workers who created fortunes for these Wall Street banks\, we connect the past to the present. How does the ruling class organize and assert its interests?  How have people struggled against the power of Wall Street over history? How has Wall Street benefitted from the strategy of divide and conquer to keep us disorganized and disunited? How can knowing this history help orient the strategy of the organized poor and dispossessed today?  Take 30 minutes to walk the streets of Lower Manhattan\, along with leaders of the New York State Poor People’s Campaign as we trace the history of Wall Street. \nRSVP below and join us on live at this link!

SUMMARY:Economic Lessons for 2020: A Conversation with Dr. Michael Hudson
DESCRIPTION:Despite low unemployment rates and a rising stock market\, 3 out of 4 economists are expecting a recession by 2021. We are already facing a crisis of poverty and economic precarity\, where 140 million people are poor or low-income\, the costs of living are going up and the chances of living are going down. What condition is our economy in today\, more than ten years after the Great Recession of 2008\, to withstand another economic downturn? What lessons have we learned – or failed to learn – over this past decade? What lessons can we draw from history to guide us in the months and years to come? \nJoin a conversation with economist Dr. Michael Hudson on the 2008 economic crisis\, what’s happened over the past  ten years\, and what we can anticipate in 2020. Dr. Hudson in the President of the Institute for the Study fo Long-Term Economic Trends (ISLET) and Distinguished Research Professor of Economics at the University of Missouri\, Kansas City. His has written extensively on the 2008 crisis\, including the books\, The Bubble and Beyond\, Killing the Host\, and J is for Junk Economics. He has also done groundbreaking research on debt and finance in antiquity\, most recently in “….And Forgive Them their Debts\,” revealing the long history of lending\, foreclosure and redemption\, and how “debts that can’t be paid\, won’t be paid.” The only question is on whose backs those debts will be carried. \n\nOrganized by the Kairos Center for Religions\, Rights and Social Justice.

SUMMARY:End the War on the Poor: Confronting Militarism and the War Economy
DESCRIPTION:Around the world\, the poor and dispossessed are facing the direct violence\, economics\, and politics of war and militarism. This pain and devastation comes at great costs\, both here and abroad\, as an expanding military budget is accompanied by the militarization of our communities. Furthermore\, while our communities battle for survival amidst a delusive politic of austerity\, the Department of Defense is awarded unquestioned resources to ready the country for unending war. \n\n \nJoin us on Friday\, December 6\, for a public discussion on militarism\, the war economy and building a moral economy in its place. The Kairos Center will bring together experts on the military budget\, grassroots and community organizers\, and others who are confronting the violence of militarism and the war economy\, and identifying a path out of this violence towards real security at home and globally.

SUMMARY:RIGHT TO WATER: A CONVENING
DESCRIPTION:Our indispensable right to water is under attack. From industrial pollution\, agricultural runoff and extractive industries to climate change induced floods or drought to the privatization of local water systems and other austerity measures\, water is becoming less accessible to millions of people in the U.S. and around the world. These attacks come first and worst to poor and marginalized communities\, where lessons learned are applied to broader segments of our society. \nOn November 8\, 7-9 pm\, the Kairos Center is hosing a public event on our right to water. Join us as we hear from frontline community members and experts from Michigan\, South Carolina\, New Jersey and Washington D.C.

SUMMARY:Jesus Led a Poor People's Campaign: Sermons from the Movement to End Poverty
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch:  Jesus Led a Poor People’s Campaign: Sermons from the Movement to End Poverty\n\n\nFeatured Speakers: Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis\, Rev. Erica Williams\, Rev. Jessica Williams\, Solita Riley\, Aaron Scott\, Colleen Wessel-McCoy\, and Willie Baptist\n\nThis new collection of sermons features religious and community leaders committed to the unity and organization of the poor for a powerful social movement to end poverty. As today’s exploitative and oppressive economy is producing an expanding and deepening poverty\, we need a revolution of values\, particularly a revolution of religious values that champions the building of a broad transformative social movement to abolish the immorality of poverty in the midst of plenty and abandonment in the midst of unprecedented abundance. Using the Reading the Bible with the Poor methodology\, as developed by Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis in her book Always With Us? What Jesus Really Said About the Poor\, these sermons draw biblical texts into conversation with the organized poor today. Join six of the book’s authors for an inspiring conversation about the spirit of justice.

SUMMARY:Alternative Religions
DESCRIPTION:From the perspective of building a broad social movement to end poverty and other injustices\, what is the meaning of the contemporary revival of interest in alternative and “occult” religious ideas\, especially among young people and those who would formerly be destined to be a part of the middle class?

SUMMARY:Empire and Economics: The Long History of Debt-Cancelation from Antiquity to Today
DESCRIPTION:Debt plays a central role in upholding the economic and social order of the day. In the US\, mounting debt and the crippling financialization of our lives is taken as fact. Our political leaders see no real problem and offer no serious solution. This was not always the case. Throughout antiquity\, widespread debt-cancellation was understood as a moral and practical necessity. In a significant new book\, …and Forgive Them Their Debts\, economist Michael Hudson traces the biblical demand against debt and the long history of economic jubilees. Counter to dominant history and theology\, Hudson reveals how the Bible itself is concerned most with the moral failure of economic systems\, rather than personal sin.   \nJoin Dr. Michael Hudson\, New Testament Scholar Dr. Aliou Niang and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis\, Biblical Scholar and co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival\, for a discussion on the history of debt and what it means for our context today. Moderated by Shailly Gupta Barnes and the Kairos Center for Religions\, Rights and Social Justice.  \n

SUMMARY:Always With Us? What Jesus Really Said About the Poor
DESCRIPTION:Duration: The course will meet on Tuesdays\, November 27\, December 4\, and December 11\, 5:30-8:30pm. \nContent: This three-part course will reclaim the radical teachings of the Bible around poverty\, wealth and power that have been lost to many of our movements. It will be structured around the acclaimed scholarship of Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis and her book\, Always With Us? What Jesus Really Said About the Poor\, and the pedagogy of “reading the Bible with the poor” or “contextual Bible study.”   \nBecause of the significance the Bible holds for many in our society and because of the way the Bible has been used both as a “text of terror” and as an inspiration for social movements\, the Poverty Initiative and Kairos Center hold the Bible and contextual Bible study – what we term “Reading the Bible with the Poor” – as central work in building a social movement to end poverty\, led by the poor. This pedagogy grows out of examples from South Africa\, Latin American Liberation Theology\, and other experiences of the poor globally reclaiming the biblical mandate for justice\, and we have developed it within our U.S. context. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Liberation Theology
DESCRIPTION:Duration: This course meets Tuesdays 5:30-8:30pm on November 6\, 13\, and 20. \nContent: This course will provide a conceptual overview and history of a particular understanding and practice of religion that has developed through social struggles and played an integral role in advancing those struggles. The course will examine some of the principles behind liberation theology as it has emerged in historical struggles of the poor\, including Latin American Liberation Theology\, Black Liberation Theology\, as well as in the context of non-Christian contexts. It will also take up questions about how such a theology is emerging in struggles today\, in particular by drawing on the experiences and insights of leaders from the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival. \n
