Megan Black Johnson

Megan Black Johnson is a trainer, facilitator, and organizer who has spent much of her career trying to make sense of our differences and build bridges between them. Trained in community organizing and interfaith solidarity, since 2010 Megan has worked with organizations like Interfaith America, Faith in Action, JOIN for Justice, and Western States Center to navigate the divisions created by race, religion, and politics, with a particular focus on the issues of antisemitism, anti-Black racism, and Christian hegemony. Megan earned her undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame and a Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt University. She now directs a program to counter antisemitism and protect democracy at Western States Center and regularly trains and facilitates bridge-building initiatives across the country. Megan and her husband (an ordained priest in the Episcopal church) are travel enthusiasts, casual cyclists, active in their Episcopal church community, and proud, exhausted parents of a toddler. They live in Baltimore, Maryland.
