ESTHER's Promise in 2025

ESTHER’s Promise in 2025
Empowerment, Solidarity, Truth, Hope, Equity, and Reform
Connie Kanitz, ESTHER President

ESTHER is rooted in the commitment of knowing there is inherent worth and dignity in each and every person. Everyone deserves respect, access to rights and to the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

ESTHER is committed to acting in love for one another. When we expand our understanding of “family” to include everyone; when we welcome cultural, racial, economic, and gender diversity AND a diversity of ideas and perspectives; AND when we ensure everyone has access to rights and opportunity, we can build a community that is amazing to behold. 

As the new administration begins on January 20, 2025, on the very same day we celebrate the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., ESTHER will continue to tell the truth and stand up for the truth…

Defy the Fragmentation and Erasure of Palestine’s Realities

St. Mark’s Lutheran, Neenah Hosts Exhibit to Defy the
Fragmentation and Erasure of Palestine’s Realities
St. Mark’s Racial Equity Team joins local and national organizations in bringing the Why We
Record: Defying Fragmentation and Erasure in Palestine exhibit to the Fox Valley on Saturday,
October 3 from 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM and Sunday, October 4 from 11:30 AM – 2:00 PM in the
Fellowship Hall at St. Mark’s Lutheran, 140 S. Green Bay Rd., Neenah. The exhibit has been
curated by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) and Visualizing Palestine (VP) and
invites visitors to the exhibit to witness the truths of the past, the heartbreak of the present, and
the possibilities for a future without oppression in Palestine. The exhibit includes a collection of
VP's visuals, AFSC's archival photos, and excerpts from published stories on the themes of
fragmentation, displacement, return, and future visioning.
 
 
Why does this exhibition matter? 
The exhibit’s creators deeply believe that the injustices experienced by Palestinians will end,
and that people of conscience all over the world have a role to play in realizing an end to
oppression. They share a deep respect for the storytellers who narrate the painful realities of
Palestinians who cannot yet live in dignity and freedom.
