Battle Lines in the U.S. Culture Wars

Those of us living on the “Left Coast” do not have daily contact with people who think that climate change is a hoax, life begins at conception, ethnic studies is un-American, and public health measures threaten their liberty.

Join our speakers from Florida, Texas, and inland California, who will lead a discussion about the forces behind the issues that divide us. Kathy Staudt, professor Emerita, U. of Texas at El Paso, leader in El Paso Alliance for Just Schools, DSA El Chuco Workers Clinic;
