Love is the Point
Friday, May 15, 6:30-8:30pm
Multi-faith leaders from the Greater Portland Area are inviting people of every faith (and no faith at all-all are welcome) from across the state to join for “Love is the Point” at First Parish Church in Portland (425 Congress St.) as an alternative to the Turning Point USA event at the Portland Expo, scheduled for the same date and time. The free event will include a roster of local musicians, support for efforts related to immigrant rights, trans rights, reproductive rights, and gun safety, and provide fundraising opportunities for the communities targeted by Turning Point USA.
More details and sign up can be found at loveisthepoint.eventbrite.com. People can come without signing up, but sign ups give us an idea of numbers so sign ups are helpful!
