This past historic election season sparked an unprecedented energy focused on change and action. The faltering economy, poor healthcare and education systems, and failing politics created an undeniable call from the people for change. W ith a mandate for change, comes the necessity for action.
We invite you to join us for the 5th Annual GeoClan MLK Symposium, entitled “Beyond Voting: Change Through Direct Action,” which promises to engage participants in the importance and methods of direct action as a critical means of creating social change.
