Dear John,

"Radical simply means ‘grasping things at the root.'" ― Angela Davis
Policies have the power and potential to shape our conditions, but
they're often not transformative and leave out the most
directly-impacted—low-income communities of color. When communities'
desire for change runs into the limitations and compromises of the
policy making process, how do we hold a bold, radical vision, and
continue to practice and build the world we envision?
Lessons From Abolitionists
[link removed]
is a three-part series that engages in conversation about what a
people-centered policy making process should and can look like, from
developing a radical vision for change to the persuasive power of
narrative and culture in policy making, to the implementation and
accountability necessary for sustainable change.
Join us September 29th

at 2PM/ET, 11AM/ PT for the first part, where we will reimagine and
redefine policy and hear from abolitionist organizers about the power of
a transformative vision and the persistence needed to build toward that
vision.
