Racist Roots: Building an Interfaith Movement to Topple NC’s Death Penalty

Join us for an online screening of the powerful film “Racist Roots” followed by a panel discussion focused on an interfaith response to the film and the importance of building a religious/ spiritually diverse and inclusive death penalty abolition movement. Panelists will include Rev. Jennifer Copeland, Executive Director of the NC Council of Churches; Julia Millar, a Jewish anti-death penalty organizer; Alfred Rivera, a Muslim NC death row exoneree; and Andre Smith, a Buddhist homicide survivor family member. Noel Nickle, NCCADP’s Executive Director, will moderate the panel. You don’t want to miss this conversation! Register for the Zoom link here. NCCADP is grateful to our co-hosts: the Center for Death Penalty Litigation, who created the Racist Roots film project, and the North Carolina Council of Churches.
