For a large dose of inspiration and empowerment, please join us this Sunday, May 2 at 5 PM for a very special program, "A Conversation with Changemaker Heather Booth." Sign up here.
We are honored to have this groundbreaking activist and organizer join us to share her perspectives on citizen activism. She is a passionate speaker and will most certainly inspire us all!
Heather began her remarkable career at the height of the Civil Rights movement and was a leader in the most pivotal moments in progressive movements that altered our history over the last fifty years: from her founding of the JANE Underground in 1964, to her involvement with Fannie Lou Hamer and the Freedom Summer Project, to her personal connections with leaders from Julian Bond and Senator Elizabeth Warren. She is the subject of an excellent documentary, "Heather Booth: Changing the World" which is available to stream on both Amazon Prime and Vimeo. Here is a trailer.
We hope you will sign up to join us on Sunday!
