"I hope that we all leave this conference with a renewed commitment to solidarity, not just as a nice thing to say, but as a powerful way to BE. We are called into action, especially this year, to stand with those most marginalized in our communities. We must act in solidarity with our bodies, with our money, and with our privilege."
Alyssa Perez
"To be with folks who take seriously our call to love and serve one another, who are committed to a more just and loving society — this invitation is invaluable, particularly now."Â
