Fireside Chat: "Neo-Nazi to Jew-Lover" with Frank Meeink

Description

Join us for an unforgettable Fireside Chat: "Neo-Nazi to Jew-Lover" with Frank Meeink

Once a high-profile leader in the Neo-Nazi movement, Frank Meeink was radicalized as a teen and became one of the most prominent skinhead recruiters in the United States. Arrested at age 17 and later imprisoned, it was behind bars that his transformation began – through unexpected friendships, education, and exposure to those he once hated. After renouncing hate groups, Frank has dedicated his life to combating racism and extremism. Today, he is a nationally recognized speaker, activist, and author of Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead, and his story has been featured on CNN, MTV, NPR, and Steven Spielberg’s "Why We Hate."

Through this raw and riveting conversation, you’ll gain insight into:
-How hate takes root, and how it can be uprooted
-The healing power of honest conversation and human connection
-Why it’s more important than ever to combat extremism in our communities
