SUMMARY:Love is the Point: A Multi-Faith Response to the Turning Point USA Event
DESCRIPTION:With the support of Calvary Chapel Greater Portland\, Turning Point USA is bringing their “Make Heaven Crowded Tour” to the Portland Expo on May 15. Turning Point USA\, founded by the late Charlie Kirk\, advocates for conservative politics on high school\, college\, and university campuses. \nIn response\, clergy and leaders of the MultiFaith Organizing Group of Greater Portland\, which includes the Maine Council of Churches\, have organized “Love is the Point\,” a counter event scheduled for the same date and time that speaks to the core tenets of every world religion\, which call us to love our neighbors. The free event will include a roster of local musicians\, support for efforts related to immigrant rights\, trans rights\, reproductive rights\, and gun safety\, and provide fundraising opportunities for the communities targeted by Turning Point USA. It will not include political speeches from candidates for office or elected officials. \nAll are invited to shine light on the love and community support throughout Maine for those who feel that their lives\, safety\, and rights are oppressed\, targeted\, or at risk in the hands of right-wing politics\, white-supremacist ideas\, or Christian-nationalist ideologies. \nRegistration is encouraged so organizers can have a sense of numbers\, but not required. \nLEARN MORE AND REGISTER
