On July 29, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., Reverend Al Sharpton, the National Action
Network, New York City officials, and His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa will
lead a rally to promote interfaith dialogue as the key to combatting global
injustice.
The Gyalwang Drukpa is the spiritual
leader of the Drukpa order of Buddhism, and a U.N. Award-winning humanitarian
and interfaith leader. He has spent his life connecting unlikely communities,
cultivating interfaith tolerance, and finding common ground in the pursuit of
peace.
Whether providing disaster relief and empowering underserved religious
minorities in the most remote villages of the Himalayas, marching with local
ministers in Baltimore after the death of Freddie Gray, or promoting and
providing education for disadvantaged youth, he has been a staunch ally in the
ongoing global fight to combat injustice.
The Gyalwang Drukpa and other speakers
will highlight the August 28 Ministers March for Justice, when 1,000 ministers
of all denominations will march from the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial to
the Department of Justice to hold Attorney General Jeff Sessions and the Trump
administration accountable for a disturbing rise in hate crimes and
discrimination.
Reverend Sharpton will deliver a sermon following the Gyalwang
Drukpa’s appearance.
The event will be held at the National Action Network's House of Justice, 106 West 145th Street in Harlem, and broadcast on the Impact Television Network and
www.nationalactionnetwork.net.
