with Candice Fortin
In the internet age, we have access to all of the information we need on what is happening in the world, but what do we do about it? In this session, we will learn accessible models and roles for anyone to step into that create a sustainable organizing ecosystem so we can build power to fight for issues and causes we believe in. Don’t panic. Organize!
