Workshop: Economic Injustice 101

January 5, 2019 @ 5:00 am - 10:00 am

$25

UU FaithAction NJ and the Economic Task Force, together with Work Environmental Council, are hosting a training conference to help us learn how to effectively campaign to promote economic justice in our communities and our state.  We will learn how to be more effective at bringing people together to exercise political power.

WHAT: Interactive Economic Training for Advocates Conference

WHEN:  January 5, 2019

TIME:  10 am to 3 pm

WHERE:  The Unitarian Society of East Brunswick, 176 Tices Lane, East Brunswick

To get a little sense of how these educational/community-organizing trainings work, please take a look at this 4 minute video, which was produced after one of these trainings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umQjeGMxjDY
These are interactive workshops where we share our own experiences. Attending this training with other UUs will be a great way for us to learn more about each other and that knowledge will make us a stronger and more effective organization. I bet it will help us be effective advocates for economic justice!
No matter how much time we spend learning about what’s going on in the world, sometimes the best thing to do in rough times is to come together. And maybe come up with things we can do. Even better if different groups are doing different things but pushing towards the same goals.
Please consider attending this training with other UUs, but also people from other faiths and backgrounds. To move forward on our agenda for promoting Economic Justice we have to not only be well-educated on the inequities that exist but well-trained in organizing. Let’s put our heads together and work on a campaign with help from people who are doing this effectively nationwide.
