Activism Then and Now: Lessons, Legacies, and Future Paths
Join a group of teens and adults to explore the roots of activism and social movements in the United States, from marches and sit-ins to mutual aid networks and digital movements. Through connecting past struggles to the movements shaping our world now, we’ll uncover how ordinary people have sparked extraordinary change – and where our voices fit into the story.
If this is your first time participating in DOROT’s Intergenerational Program, you will be asked to attend an orientation.
