Description:

Let’s Keep Talking!

This month, ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race) continues our ongoing exploration of resistance to fascism—this time, through a candid look at what it means to own and carry a firearm in today’s America.

For many, gun ownership has long been part of a conversation about freedom, protection, and community defense. But what does it mean to view it through the lens of resistance and preparedness? How do we balance safety, responsibility, and our rights under the 2nd Amendment—especially in a time when fears of political violence and authoritarianism are on the rise?

Come ready to listen, learn, and share your thoughts in a space where we talk honestly about what resistance looks like—and what it doesn’t.

A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) is a public discussion series. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, class and culture. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action!

On the last Sunday of each month, there is a new topic for discussion
