Join us for an evening in conversation with Governor Andy Beshear as he discusses his memoir, Go and Do Likewise.

Join Governor Andy Beshear for a hopeful conversation about reclaiming faith as a force for good instead of harm and healing a divided nation through our shared values. Centered around his new book, Go and Do Likewise: How We Heal a Broken Country, Governor Beshear will share stories of healing, justice, forgiveness, welcoming, and moral clarity.In Go and Do Likewise, Governor Beshear shares what his own faith has meant to him, how it has informed his family and his public life—and serves as a rebuke to how faith has been hijacked, profaned, misused, and corrupted by Donald Trump and other public figures. By regrounding faith in compassion and kindness, Beshear believes we can start to heal as a country.Whether you support organized religion or simply believe in the golden rule, this evening is a powerful reminder of the values that can truly unite us.Governor Andy Beshear is a born-and-raised Kentuckian.
