Between the political discord on social media, images of fear and progress broadcast by news outlets, and local outbreaks of Civil unrest, it is clear that history is happening today. We are not so far removed from the marches of the Civil Rights movement. The only difference between the fight of yesterday and of today is who will be carrying the flames of justice and peace. 

One way to find those new champions for justice is through community organizing. Join us for lunch and learn about Community Organizing 101, discussion led by James Cersonsky. 

During this session

• Reflect our how folks relate to community organizing 
• Different approaches to community organizing 
• Unpacking what it means to be an organizer at this time. 

Let’s continue to move our work and our world to equity, and social liberation.
