Conversations with: Congresswoman Demings, NACAC Educational Fair, Rabbi David Kay and State Rep Eskamanni re: Israel - Hamas War

In the first hour, we spoke with Congresswoman Val Demings, who served as the U.S. representative from Florida's 10th congressional district from 2017 to 2023. She is passionate about people having access to a voice, that is backed by action, within the government. While it seems that the Florida governor is changing the culture of this state by removing known freedoms, Demings’ agenda is to protect and serve the community, focusing on what the nation was founded upon.

They will be hosting an Orlando College Fair on October 22nd. https://www.nacacattend.org/23Orlando to register.

Rabbi Kay serves on the Executive Committee of the Interfaith Council of Central Florida, which is responsible for a significant effort to bring communities together. He emphasizes the importance of education and perspective-taking, as the current unjustified conflict between Hamas and Israel is a result of present time actions and history. Offering our support and educating ourselves are recommended at such a time. https://interfaithfl.org/ https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2023/10/13/faith-leaders-we-stand-together-and-love-our-neighbors-in-face-of-middle-east-conflict-commentary/
