DC Groundings Panel Discussion: How Can Movements Prepare for the Coming Political Climate?

In collaboration with the Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), Bol Coop is organizing a panel that will address how movements can prepare for the next four years and beyond.

We will highlight lessons, resources, and strategies that have been cultivated over the years to help social movements working for radical change. Panelists will draw on their experience working diverse issues on local, national, and international scales.

We have a great lineup of panelists:

Shelley Fudge is the founder of Jewish Voice for Peace-DC Metro and a current member of its Steering Committee. She has organized for peace with justice for decades. She is a retired Environmental Protection Specialist. She lives in Silver Spring.

Medea Benjamin is the co-founder of the women-led peace group CODEPINK. Medea has been an advocate for social justice for 50 years. Described as "one of America's most committed - and most effective -- fighters for human rights" by New York Newsday, and "one of the high profile leaders of the peace movement" by the Los Angeles Times.

Dominic T. Moulden is the initiator of the Elephant Free School, a laboratory of Black imagination and freedom as well as a floating academy offering political education, coaching, and training. A community organizer in Washington, DC for over three decades, Dominic was the Resource Organizer for Organizing Neighborhood Equity (ONE DC), a collectively-led organization that builds people power and economic and racial equity in the nation's capital.
