On Thursday, June 23 at 7:30, over twenty congregations and organizations in Suffolk County will join together for what they hope will be a powerful force for social justice on Long Island. The event will be at the First Baptist Church, 1018 Northville Turnpike in Riverhead.
Member organizations of LION will commit to be in relationship with one another, to form core teams trained to act for justice and to create a community of people who actively participate in the democratic process.
LION is a multi-ethnic, multi-racial, interfaith affiliate of the Gamaliel Foundation. LION joins its sister Gamaliel organizations in the US and in South Africa to act strategically on issues of economic equity and equality. Gamaliel affiliates have championed such legislative reforms as treatment-instead-of-prison, affordable housing, accessible health care, living wages, and earned citizenship.
