Over 600 people of faith came from all over the metro area to join together in support of racial and economic equity. Included in the audience were 120 leaders from Gamaliel affiliates from across the country who were in Overland Park, Kansas for the annual African American Leadership Conference. Rev. Dr. James Forbes gave a rousing call for the individuals in the room to work together on issues that will change our communities for the better. MORE² leaders, in a statement of solidarity, signed over 500 postcards to their Senators (representing 11 states) in support of the Dream Act. Overall, participants called this Fourth Annual imagine Banquet the best and most compelling event that MORE² has organized in the organization’s short history.
