MCHR is proud to be a co-sponsor of a one-woman show called “The Gun Show: A Non-Partisan Play About Guns.”

The play explores the relationship between Americans and their guns and the gun culture.

The narrative doesn’t favor any side or argument. Instead, it centers on the question: Can we talk about this?

Join us at Swords Into Plowshares on March 18, 2020 for this compelling one-actor play.

Happy 90th Birthday to Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, MCHR Co-Founder and World Peace Advocate

Posted January 27th, 2020  |  News

Bishop Thomas Gumbleton, one of MCHR’s co-founders, is celebrating his 90th birthday this month.

Along with Episcopal Bishop Coleman H. McGehee and Rabbi Richard Herz, he was a co-founder of MCHR in 1980. The trio of committed activists created it as a forum to discuss and act on racism, unemployment, sexism, militarism and economic justice.

All of us at MCHR wish Bishop Gumbleton a happy birthday and thank him for his decades of leadership and inspiration in advocating for human rights and world peace.
