** Learning From the Civil Rights Movement
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]

The Civil Rights Movement is a story of people who believed they could bring about change to ensure civil and human rights for themselves and future generations. That change did not come easily, nor did it come without disappointments and sacrifices. As we stand on the shoulders of generations who fought for the reality of our nation’s democratic ideals, we cannot afford to lose hope.

We must build resiliency in ourselves and our communities, resist hate, and recommit to our values: justice, human rights for all and democratic governance.

The Learning From the Civil Rights Movement ([link removed]) series gives us models and strategies for action in our communities and our nation to create a more just society. Realizing one’s own capacity for action is an essential disposition for responsible citizenship. As we grow in understanding the movement’s history and its ongoing relevance to our lives, we can examine today’s justice issues and find ways to answer the questions: “How can I make a difference?” “How can we make a difference together?”

Fall 2024 Issue ([link removed])
[link removed]

In this polarized political environment, we must not lose sight of the humanity of the people around us. Dialogue creates opportunities to reach across differences and to engage with and understand one another, without losing the integrity of our work for justice.

This issue ([link removed]) explores why dialogue is crucial for a thriving democracy, addresses critical issues facing our communities in the South and our nation, and encourages us to reach across our differences.
