Loretta J. Ross - Lansing Economic Club

Description

Join us Tuesday, March 2 from 10:40 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. for Lansing Economic Club Featuring Professor Loretta J. Ross, Professor Ross is going to focus her discussion on her work “Calling In the Calling Out Culture”

We are facing a tumultuous future in this country, with the rise of neo-fascism scaffolded by the Republicans in the context of neo-liberalism enabled by the Democrats. Fighting against oppression and injustice are the dues we pay for the privilege of being conscious and we are honored to be able to challenge it with great responsibility. We begin to build a unified and strategic human rights movement that weaves our strengths together, that uses our differences as a platform for modeling a positive future built on justice and the politics of love, rather than a return to the past based on the politics of fear and prejudice. However, to create this movement we need to make a commitment to recognize and support each other – calling people in rather than calling them out, a prerequisite for building a united movement for human rights.

The program begins at 11 a.m. Virtual networking will occur before the program from 10:40-11 a.m. and after the program from noon to 12:15 p.m. Questions on the program can be directed to Ashlee Willis at michiganpremierevents@lansingchamber.org  or (517) 242-7434.
