Civic Engagement for Social Justice: Speaking and Acting in Ways That Matter

Details and registration

What does civic engagement for social justice mean? And for educator and organizer Stephanie Skora, what does it mean to be a leftist Jew engaged in this work? These questions have been swirling across the progressive landscape since October 2023 as the United States descends into the turmoil of yet another contentious presidential election. From voting, to watchdog research, to protesting against genocide, this talk examines civic engagement from a progressive lens and paints a portrait of what change-making looks like on a local level.
