Mission Statement:

We are an interfaith group coming together from many belief systems. We move
through the tension of polarizing views to be a prophetic voice in the public
square, calling us back to our

shared humanity and our best selves. We do this by:

➡ Growing our interfaith coalition, rooted in relationships that seek to embody
empathy, compassion, and trust

➡ Building accountable relationships with historically marginalized
communities

➡ Creating community-wide opportunities for education, civil discourse and
action

It can be so activating to our nervous systems to hear about threats of violence. Let’s do our best to keep each other safe under threat of occupation and militarized presence. If you think 🧊might be here - pause and check in with these prompts. Get specific and clear. And consider what actions you take and how they might impact you and those around you- especially the most vulnerable or at risk of arrest.

We’re honored to be a co-presenter for this Community Night showing at the State Theatre and hope you’ll join us for this meaningful evening.

We made it to December together!

This month we will gather together and let the sound of poetry, song and singing bowls wash over us. We’ll begin with a practice that centers our shared wisdom, one that calls forward the lines of poetry and song that live in our hearts. Then we will let the sounds of the singing bowls wash over us. Courtney Wiggins and Lucy Waechter Webb are delighted to hold this final gathering of the year together.

Join us for an evening of community and renewal.

The SALT Coalition joined 8,000 other community members and at the Traverse City No Kings protest on Saturday!! We joined our neighbors to peacefully protest the injustice we witness, but also raise our voices for what we can build if we stick together: a community rooted in justice, love, curiosity and hope! Let’s keep raising our voices and coming together. 🔥❤️

Concerned about the rise in violence targeting immigrants?

Join SALT for an important conversation with Meghan Cullen, a representative from the ACLU of Michigan, on October 23 at 7pm.

Meghan works with organizations across the state, including No Detention Centers of Michigan, to gather stories and support resistance to the harm caused by immigration enforcement and increased detentions at centers such as North Lake in Baldwin, MI (only an hour drive from Traverse City). During her presentation, Meghan will share insights from her work and practical ways we can stand in solidarity and take action right here at home.
