Join us in conversation with Pardeep Kaleka, son of Satwant Kaleka the president of the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin; Rami Jabara, brother of Khalid Jabara, who was killed in a hate crime attack by a neighbor in Tulsa; Susan Bro, mother of Heather Heyer of Charlottesville; and Dawn Collins, whose son Richard was killed in a hate attack in Maryland in 2017.
These leaders will share stories of loss, hope and a call to action. They will discuss their activism, the challenges of hate crime reporting and prosecution, and the value of community action in support of families and individuals targeted by hate.
