Unmuted: The Black Church – A Call to Speak, Stand, and Show Up

Tagline: This isn’t about taking sides—it’s about taking a stand.

Tired of yelling at the TV? Marching with no next step? Praying for change but unsure how to fight for it?You're not alone—and you’re not powerless.

On Saturday, June 28 at 10 AM, join us at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Prince George’s County for the launch of Unmuted, a bold new series from our Social Justice & Public Policy Ministry designed to move us from silence to strategy.

Because the truth is this: Jesus was a justice advocate—a table-turning, truth-speaking champion for the poor, the marginalized, and the oppressed. And the Black Church has always carried that mantle. Now it’s our turn.

This is not a panel for panels’ sake—it’s a call to action.

You’ll hear from seasoned justice leaders, most of whom are proud members of Metropolitan:

• Dr. Kwamme Anderson, Founder, Carey Consulting | Former Deputy Chief of Staff, U.S. House of Representatives
• Sis. Nona Florence, Tour Educator & Community Advocate
• Bro. Derrick Lewis II, Interim National Director, Youth and College Division, NAACP
• Bro. Tyese Williams, Federal Advocacy & Policy Manager, NCNW
• Sis. Alicia Butler, Health Equity Director, Program & Policy Liaison, National Action Network

Through powerful conversation and interactive engagement, you’ll get:

• Real tools for real advocacy
• A deeper understanding of how faith, policy, and power intersect
• Courage and clarity to speak up and show up in your community
• The beginning of a blueprint—designed by us, for us

This is just the beginning. Unmuted is a series—because the Church’s voice will not go quiet in the face of injustice. Not on our watch.

Don’t miss the movement.Let’s build the blueprint. Let’s answer the call. Let’s get Unmuted.
