When social justice volunteers ask, "What can I do" – they are hoping leaders will give them a task that will actually help make change. Decades ago, the Midwest Academy, a prominent 50-year-old training institute for community organizers, developed a process to identify decisionmakers and select tactics and messages to influence them. It works. We will take an interactive walk through their process.

All are welcome to participate in this session. A light lunch will be provided.

Please bring your event flyers and community announcements to share.
