Social Action Forum ‘Recognizing Your Power’
Sunday, December 10, 12:30 – 2:00pm, Don Krehbiel Music Center
Join us for a presentation provided by Walker Moore, Lead Organizer for Dallas Area Interfaith (DAI). DAI is a non-partisan, multi-ethnic, multi-issue group of congregations, schools and other non-profits focused on implementing systemic changes to achieve the common good.
Learn about how organizing for Social Justice is done on the local level and how congregations of many faiths can work together to create change. See how we can leverage our voices to create the collective power that we didn’t know we have within ourselves, our congregations, and our community.
