You heard that right. 93% of the perpetrators of child sexual abuse claimed to be religious. With LGBTQ+ and nonreligious people being scapegoated as predators, it’s time to equip ourselves with these sorts of truths. That’s why our virtual speaker series next month will focus on religious hypocrisy about sexual abuse. (Join our first installment Friday May 5th.) Make no mistake: when we organize on these issues, we make an impact. Take for example, Catalina Foothills High School district in Tucson, where residents say out-of-district political agents are pushing for discriminatory bathroom policies and policies to “out” trans kids to their parents. Nearly 100 people spoke at the last meeting about this—all in favor of trans students and their rights. Parents from all walks of life are ready to speak out against “culture war” politics in our school boards. It’s time to educate ourselves on the truths Christian nationalists want to suppress, and to make ourselves as loud as possible about them. (Live in Peoria Unified School District?
