The National Organizers Alliance is planning an Organizers Gathering to bring together social justice organizers to build relationship across a wide spectrum of issues and campaigns on Wednesday, Jan. 18 (snow date: Thursday, Jan. 19) from 5:30 to 8 pm, with a healthy catered dinner, at MIT, Building 9, 105 Mass Avenue, Rooms 9-450 A and B (note: 105 Mass Ave is right next to the Main Entrance at 77 Mass Ave).
We have found that organizers rarely speak to people outside our own circles or “silos†and therefore don’t develop the relationships that can nurture a broad movement for social justice. Rather than examine the things that divide us, let understand and learn from one another.
SPEED MENTORING We will also have a time for organizers who want to mentor others and for organizers looking for mentors to connect.
Sponsored by the National Organizers Alliance (see: www.noacentral.org) and an organizing committee (in formation).
To sign up for dinner, go to: www.noacentral.org to the “donate†button, and donate $15 for dinner. ($10 for NOA members)
