Working for Global Policy Change in Turbulent Times

Representatives from AFSC’s Policy Department will speak about the organization’s efforts to develop more comprehensive policy change strategies across levels of government globally, and ways we can keep up momentum for change when times feel hopeless. They will also speak to AFSC’s preparations for multiple election scenarios in the U.S., drawing on the organization’s global experience as well as its organizing and training expertise. Aura Kanegis, Imani Cruz, and Mike Merryman-Lotze will share stories from their work and talk about ways to look beyond politically expedient strategies that may undermine long term goals, setting a course for deeper and more substantive long-arc change.

Presenters: Aura Kanegis, Imani Cruz, and Mike Merryman-Lotze
