confluence of the Colorado and Gunnison rivers came to be. Through hard work, innovation, and the power of collaboration, this arid landscape was transformed into a bustling and agriculturally productive community. Looking ahead, Zebulon will explore how collaborative efforts in the past can help shape our efforts now and into the future with living in a time of water scarcity.

BAD FAITH
Christian Nationalisms War On Democracy
5:30pm-7:30pm, Mesa Central Library - 443 North 6th Street · Grand Junction
Humanists Doing Good will be hosting a screening of the updated version of the documentary BAD FAITH followed by discussion. BAD FAITH is a
more...0
documentary that unveils the forces dividing our nation from within. The film identifies the bigoted and entirely non-Christian tenets of white supremacy as the origins of what is today called Christian Nationalism, an intentional misnomer created to suggest that the movement is rooted in religion rather than politics. BAD FAITH investigates the alarming rise of Christian Nationalism. The movement, once on the fringes of Christian conservative thought, has surged to the forefront of American politics, driven by the belief in establishing a theocratic rule that aligns with its interpretation of Christian values. The movement seeks to dismantle the federal government, defund public health and education, and roll back the civil and political rights of millions of Americans.
