Attending the 2015 Parliament of Religions alongside 10,000 other people an hour's drive from where I was born with my mother has had a powerful effect on me.

In this last six months, Spokane has witnessed religious intolerance, hatred and bigotry. From Temple Beth Shalom being defaced during the high holy days, to community leaders distrusting Muslim neighbors, Spokane would do well to tackle religious illiteracy and intolerance head on. That’s why I am planning on attending the Parliament for the World’s Religions.
