Young New Yorkers on “Leading through Faith and Advocacy”

April 8, 2019 ICNY

Filed Under: Podcasts

Recorded before an audience at the East End Temple

How does faith inspire social justice work? 

How does advocacy inform faith?

When the Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY) launched a campaign called #FaithJusticeHero, we invited New Yorkers to celebrate leaders from diverse faith communities who are doing inspiring social justice work.  Four of these impressive young #FaithJusticeHero’s join host Hannah Meholick on this episode of ICNY’s “Interfaith Matters” podcast, to discuss faith and advocacy. These leaders share their stories.

Guests (pictured above, left to right):

Hannah Meholick, host

Kyndra Frazier, Executive Director of the HOPE Center, and Pastor of Congregational Care & Counseling, First Corinthian Baptist Church, Harlem

Joshua Stanton, Rabbi of East End Temple and a Senior Fellow at CLAL – The National Jewish Center for Learning and Leadership

Gagan Kaur, Director of Community Development for ThriveNYC at the Mayor’s Office

Shahana Hanif, Director of Organizing and Community Engagement, Office of City Council Member Brad Lander (Brooklyn District 39)
