We are officially one week away from the next program in our Beyond the Divide series.

Join us Wednesday, January 14, for a screening of A Tree of Life: The Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting. This documentary centers the voices of survivors, families of victims, and community members impacted by the tragic 2018 attack that took the lives of 11 Jewish worshippers at the Tree of Life Or L’Simcha Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA. Through firsthand accounts, the film traces how a community works to restore hope and confront hate turned into violence.

Following the screening, stay for an insightful Q and A with producer Susan Margolin!

Dinner will be provided, with vegetarian options available.

Through art, justice and healing emerge. María Magdalena Campos-Pons gathers communities in a ‘Procession of Angels,’ interweaving poetry, music, and history to ignite dialogue and honor ancestors. Her work demonstrates the power of art to foster unity, address disparities, and create spaces for collective healing. At the heart of her journey is a dedication to justice, connecting Harlem's soul with Manhattan's heart.

As a long-time partner with Millions of Conversations through EADJ, we are incredibly proud of María Magdalena Campos-Pon's impactful work. At MOC, we share her vision—bridging communities through dialogue, creativity, and love to uplift all voices and create balance.

We mourn the passing of Rev. James Lawson, a monumental figure in the fight for justice and equality. His unwavering dedication to nonviolence and social change has inspired countless individuals to pursue a world where every person, regardless of race, gender, religion or class, is treated with dignity and respect. As we mourn his loss, we remain committed to carrying forward his vision and continuing the vital work he started. Let us honor his legacy by striving for the equality and justice he so passionately believed in.

Millions of Conversations had the honor of Rev. James Lawson speaking at our 2021 Celebration of Life for John Lewis here in Nashville.

“Ultimately the hatreds, the violence, the fears, the greed, the will to dominate and control, cannot prevail and will not prevail.”

Last night in Nashville was a powerful moment as our community came together in a profound way. Truth was shared by all, as we recommitted to preparing for peace together.

We gathered from different walks of life with one key commonality; a commitment to a shared future anchored in respect for our shared humanity— one that our children deserve to enjoy.

What began with some hesitance, quickly shifted to a sense of reunion, rather than a first meeting. Strangers grew to friends within the span of an evening. One woman bravely shared with her tablemates a personal journey that spoke volumes about the transformative power of the evening. As the night unfolded, she found the courage to make eye contact - a small yet significant triumph symbolizing the trust and connection she had forged with those around her. In allowing herself to be vulnerable, she not only found her voice but also empowered others to do the same.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made last night truly remarkable.

In 2021, Humphreys County in Tennessee was devastated by one of the worst fatal floods in history. After seeing the devastation the county experienced, the MoC team began implementing the 3142 Program in Humphreys County.

The local 3142 task force voted to allocate donor funds from the 3142 Program's Do You Need My Help Fund to Waverly Junior High School that was destroyed in the flood. With a community investment of over $33,000, Waverly Junior High School was able to purchase computer units and computer charging carts to replace the school's computer lab.

Earlier this month, MoC President & CEO Samar Ali took a trip to Waverly to see the new equipment implemented in the children’s curriculum. Samar shares, “Everyone in the school had a positive aura that I felt the second I walked into the doors. I was instantly filled with hope watching these children.”

Millions of Conversations is eager to continue their support of Humphreys County as well as other counties in Middle Tennessee. To get involved, visit our website! #MOC #3142 #DYNMH #WJHS #Waverly
