Join Arizona’s Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Young Leadership as we present The Megan Phelps-Roper Story.
Megan will share her story of growing up in the Westboro Baptist Church which preaches a message of hate and fear through its daily public protests against members of the LGBT community, Jews, the military and countless others. Dialogue with “enemies” online proved instrumental in her decision to leave the church and its way of life in November 2012.
Phelps-Roper has since become an advocate for people and ideas she was taught to despise.
