To work on race, equity and justice is to deal with permanent crisis, but the past year has been a perfect storm of reckoning with racial violence and white supremacy, assaults on the basic practices of democracy, and a pandemic that yet again laid bare the fundamental inequities of the American economy – while the existential threat of climate change looms larger than ever, after four years of government neglect and denialism. How have organizations and coalitions managed to weather all the grief, fear, rage and divisiveness – while changing the terms of debate, staving off authoritarianism and winning key victories. What leadership qualities are needed to hold us together in times like this?

Join us on March 2nd for a conversation about these questions with Rahna Epting, Executive Director of Move On, and Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Parties. The event will be moderated by Gara LaMarche, President and CEO of The Democracy Alliance and a Senior Fellow and Instructor at the Colin Powell School leading the development of a new social justice leadership initiative to be jointly housed at CCNY’s Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership and CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies.
