In Limbo and in Danger: Afghan Allies and the Politics of Abandonment
Our guest will speak about the journey of Afghan allies who supported U.S. and international missions, the fallout after the fall of Kabul, and the current plight of Afghan refugees stuck in limbo—particularly those in Pakistan awaiting resettlement. He will share personal experiences and challenges navigating displacement, bureaucracy, and the mental toll of prolonged uncertainty.
Dismantling the Narrative: The White House, DEI, and the Future of Civil and Human Rights
Across the country, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives are under attack. From government rollbacks to funding cuts for nonprofits, a growing movement seeks to erase decades of progress in racial and social justice. But is DEI really dead? What’s driving this backlash—and how do we push forward in the face of opposition?
Join Dr. Stuart Lord, renowned leadership expert, and Dr. Joe-Joe McManus, author of A Brother’s Insight: Guidance on Defeating Racism and Advancing Freedom, for a powerful and candid conversation about the assault on DEI, how it impacts us all, and what we can do to sustain and innovate in the ongoing movement to ensure equity, inclusion, and justice.

We will combine text study, shared wisdom from the field, small group discussion, and Q&A in this important program.
