From Solidarity to Structural Reform
As the year closes, we look into the future with hope, inspiration, and collective vision. On December 12, we are gathering California social justice leaders and allies across the country for a virtual roundtable to elevate the need to dismantle structural policy and budget challenges that undermine long term wins for racial, gender, and economic justice.
Organized by the California Explorations Project (an initiative of The New School’s Institute on Race, Power, and Political Economy) and the Excessive Wealth Disorder Institute, this roundtable is part of an exciting new initiative to build capacity for multi-issue coalition work, expanded civic mobilization, and long term social justice wins for all historically marginalized communities.
We aim to equip attendees with the knowledge, connections, and motivation needed to usher in real structural change in California through a collective conversation featuring:
Guest Speaker Dr. Manuel Pastor, Equity Research Institute, in conversation with Shimica Gaskins, GRACE/End Child Poverty CA
Multi-Issue Solidarity: Share your organizational priorities, needs, and wisdoms for long-term wins
Practical Tools for Long Term Change: Presentation of our findings on structural policy reforms, communications strategies, and civic mobilization in CA
Q&A: Collective Conversation with progressive leaders
