Iliff Announces Free 5-Part Hybrid Teach-in Series! | |
|
In these times of significant division and conflict, we bear the responsibility to find meaningful ways to engage in conversations about challenging and complex issues. Iliff is responding to the current moment with the “We Advocate Freedom!” Teach-in Series, a five-session hybrid series starting on Thursday, June 27th from 6-8pm.
This series aims to create a space where we can come together in-person and remotely to discuss and navigate these important topics together.

Session 1: Strategies Toward Effective Social Change: Personal and Institutional Commitments
Thursday, June 27th
6:00pm: Refreshments & Registration at Iliff / Zoom room opens
6:30-8:00pm: Teach-in
Where: In person at Iliff and on Zoom
Format: Roundtable
This 1st in a series of 5 sessions will invite dialogue on the multiple paths advocates for change can work within or outside dominant systems to advocate inclusion and freedom. We will hear from veteran leaders and have the opportunity to wrestle with the moral, ethical, and spiritual realities of advocacy on complex and uncertain issues. The conversation will explore the issues of protest and consequences; non-violent and violent resistance; community organizing, and internal/external approaches.
