“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”

—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I pray that we will all continue to focus on Dr. King's message and let his words resonate with us through the coming week and year ahead. Register for the TX Legislative Event to learn about the issues in your community that affect us all - directly or indirectly!

Wendy Campbell, 2023 NTC UWF President

Join with women of faith from across Texas to learn about policy and issues impacting your community. Once you understand the issues you'll be inspired to advocate for public policies that promote the well-being of all Texans.

The TX Legislature is now in session and generating a lot of interest. This event is near capacity for attending in Austin. Attend virtually in the comfort of your home. Consider hosting a watch party at your church. Scholarships and stipends are available.

READING PROGRAM AUTHOR TALK

A Knock at Midnight: A Story of Hope, Justice and Freedom

6 - 7 pm CST on Wednesday, Feb. 8th



Get started on your 2023 Reading Program with this special event! The author, Brittany K. Barnett, was a law student when she came across the case that would change her life forever - the case of Sharanda Jones, a victim of America’s war on drugs. As Barnett studied this case, a system came into focus with widespread racial injustice at the core of America’s addiction to incarceration. Moved, Barnett set to work to gain Sharanda’s freedom. The memoir is at once Barnett’s coming-of-age story and a powerful evocation of what it takes to bring hope and justice to a system built to resist them.

A Knock at Midnight appears on the 2023 Reading Program list  as a Leadership Development selection.

No cost, all are welcome, space is limited. Pre-read the book to enrich your experience of the author's talk.

Saturday, February 11th
