Former Title: New Organizing Modalities
This moment in history requires us to develop new organizing modalities. We must come together to:
Block the threats we are facing to our democratic values;
Bridge across difference to foster broad-based movements with the widest participation; and,
Build together the future we want to live within our communities.
In other words, social change leaders, organizations, and movements must be and do several things at once.
-
How do we step into the many paradoxes of being both in resistance and restorative?
-
How do we stay future-oriented and hopeful while acknowledging and redressing past and current harms?
-
Can we reconcile the need for spaciousness to envision the future we want to create and act with the urgency that the current threats demand?
Join Julia Roig and Jarvis Williams of The Horizons Project—leaders in advancing the Block, Bridge, Build organizing framework—to interrogate these tensions and explore effective ways to advocate and bridge across difference in divided times.
This session is ideal for nonprofit, philanthropic, and civil society staff and leadership committed to effective organizing towards a just, multi-racial democracy.
