WASHINGTON — Former U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Samuel Brownback and former United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) Chair Katrina Lantos Swett will co-chair the International Religious Freedom Summit 2021, a grassroots gathering of civil society and religious groups from all over the world.
The Summit is supported by more than 70 diverse partners around the world and aims to bring greater attention to religious freedom violations and to create a powerful coalition of groups to advance the cause of religious freedom around the world.
The Summit convenes activists from around the world, many of whom have risked lives and livelihoods, therefore the event will be credentialed for security.
**Press credentials for the Summit can be requested by contacting press@thekcompany.co.**
