Global Humanitarian Summit

School of Medicine at Emory University

Organized and run by a consortium of Emory undergraduate and strengthened by involvement from community partners including CDC staff, Emory physicians, and members of various Atlanta communities the summit speaks to everyone. The need for this event stemmed initially from the simple realization that we, as humans, have a shared responsibility to protect and aid our world. Through a series of panels, speakers, movie screenings, and exhibitors, we are bringing together dedicated individuals of all careers and backgrounds to address humanity’s greatest issues and inspire creative problem solving.

Our speakers and their topics for the event are as follows:

First Five Freedoms is proud to join Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law, The Temple, and All Saints Episcopal Church for "Faith, Law, & Democracy: A Community Conversation on the Public Good and the Rule of Law" on Tuesday June 2. We hope you will consider joining us for this important discussion. Americans across the political spectrum are grappling with a shared unease: the feeling that something foundational is slipping. Trust in institutions is eroding. The norms that once governed public life are contested. And the concept of the public good — the idea that we share a common stake in fair, just, and accountable governance — is increasingly hard to find in our public discourse. This program brings together faith leaders, legal experts, and engaged community members for an evening of honest conversation about what is at stake. Hosted at All Saints Episcopal Church and co-presented by The Temple, Georgia Lawyers for the Rule of Law (GLRL), and First Five Freedoms, the event weaves together spiritual reflection, legal analysis, and civic dialogue to address one central question: What does it mean to protect the rule of law — and why does it matter for all of us, right now? The evening will include reflection, analysis, and discussion designed to:

Connect faith, law, and civic responsibility in an accessible, nonpartisan framework
Examine current challenges to the rule of law and their implications for democracy
Create space for authentic dialogue across perspectives and institutions
Foster relationships and identify opportunities for collective action
