Friends,
This election season is not just about voting, it's about building a movement that can meet this moment and move us towards a vision of America that we all deserve.
This Wednesday, we're joined by two long distance runners for justice, Ruby Sales and Bettie Mae Fikes, to help us understand what it means to Build a Movement and Live to Tell About It. ([link removed]) They not only survived the state sanctioned war on members of the Southern Freedom Movement, but they destabilized one of the most powerful white supremacist governments without firing a shot. Together, we will explore the rituals and modalities that created and expanded the most significant and effective freedom movement of the 20th century.
This webinar ([link removed]) is a must for all of us who are committed to deep systemic change and who are ready to step up.
See you there ([link removed]) .

Ruby Sales has traveled the US asking "Where does it hurt?", looking deeply at the country's legacy of racism and searching for sources of healing. She is a veteran of the southern freedom movement and is one of 50 African Americans to be spotlighted in the new Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. She joins us to share about what she's learned, reflecting on her time as a freedom fighter in the civil rights movement and offering new thinking on pathways to racial justice and movement building. Check out her OnBeing podcast interview where she explores new ways for us to understand one another. ([link removed])
Bettie Mae Fikes, a.k.a 'the voice of Selma', is a celebrated icon of the 1960's civil rights movement, who has since sustained her public activity by frequently performing as a core member of the SNCC Freedom Singers, and more recently, by fronting her own blues group, B.M.F. Ms Fikes has graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, the Newport Jazz Festival and the Library of Congress. She is a recipient of the Long Walk to Freedom Award, and has recently been inducted into the Smithsonian Institute's 'Museum of Tolerance', in an exhibition honoring women of the Civil Rights Movement.
