We invite you to join MICAH’s We All Belong Committee for a morning with john powell, internationally renowned civil rights advocate and the author of “The Power of Bridging”. powell’s book, focused on pathways to build meaningful coalition between different, and sometimes contrasting groups, is a bright spot in the field of values based organizing. The We All Belong Committee is excited to offer Milwaukee the opportunity to spend time hearing directly from Professor powell on how those who believe in justice can move beyond polarizing stories to true belonging. This interactive event is meant for teams interested in or engaging in advocacy, organizing, and justice work.
