Join Maine Women’s Lobby Education Fund for a conversation in this week’s edition of Dream Action Factory.
“Feminist movements have brought about major systemic changes to build equity and opportunity for many (but not all) global citizens. Now in a time of a global pandemic, we have a chance to consider what we want next for our communities and to learn from the lessons of those movements. This interactive web-based discussion features a panel of Maine-based academics and activists, and will explore where we go from here to build a just, equitable, sustainable, and feminist future for all. Registration is available here.”
Panelists:
DrewChristopher Joy, Executive Director of the Southern Maine Workers Center
Judicaelle Irakoze, Executive Director of Choose Yourself
Kimberly Simmons, Women and Gender Studies, University of Southern Maine
Leslie Hill, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Bates College
Facilitator: Destie Hohman Sprague, Executive Director, Maine Women's Lobby

Dream Action Factory is a series of weekly happenings taking place March 5 through June 4, 2020, in conjunction with Carrie Moyer and Sheila Pepe: Tabernacles for Trying Times. Artists, scholars, makers, performers, students, and social organizations will delve into a wide variety of topics from crocheting to community organizing. In this moment of division in our society, Dream Action Factory challenges us to come together with renewed urgency. Over the course of the series, make time and space for dialogue and for finding, amongst our many threads of identity, our common social fabric.
