Community Organizing: Past, Present, and Future

Friday, November 6, 12:30-2:30 pm
Crane Room, Paige Hall, Tufts University
Light lunch will be served. RSVP online.

A Forum Organized by Tisch College
In 2009, a hundred years after the birth of Chicago community organizer Saul Alinsky, another Chicago community organizer was inaugurated as President of the United States. Today, community organizing comes in many forms that are sometimes in conflict with each other and can provoke criticism by outsiders.

Join our engaging panelists in discussing the future of community organizing and ways today’s young people can participate.

Panelists Include
Cheryl Andes
chief organizer, Greater Boston Interfaith Organization

Sanford Horwitt
author of "Let Them Call Me Rebel: Saul Alinsky: His Life and Legacy"
