Powering Change: Is There a New Landscape for Social Justice?
Speakers
Rinku Sen, Applied Research Center
Irasema Garza, Legal Momentum
Heather Bousheyk, Center for American Progress
Lisa Mensah, The Aspen Institute
Alan Jenkins, The Opportunity Agenda
The Opening Plenary will explore President Obama's first six months in
office and chart his Administration's progress in addressing the
nation's most critical issues in areas such as poverty, education,
environment, health, and violence. They will identify the opportunities
and challenges for building a real and viable agenda for social justice
domestically and internationally, as well as the potential partnerships
across sectors and organizations that need to be forged in order for
progressive change to become a reality. Finally, they will examine the
role of women's leadership and suggest how women and women's
organizations can play a more decisive part in formulating the national
policy agenda.
