A message from CSI founder and Executive Director Maya Wiley:
In one year, CSI will be celebrating its 10 year anniversary. In honor of this special occasion, we are launching a series of events and projects celebrating nearly a decade of making transformative ideas for racial inclusion happen.
I want to invite you to the first public event of our series:
Race to Democracy – 2012 and Beyond
On Nov 14th, I will be featured in a public conversation about race and democracy in 2012 and beyond. The conversation will be led by Gara LaMarche, former President of Atlantic Philanthropies and Senior Fellow at the Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at NYU.
This event could not be timelier.
As many of you know, the economic recession affecting all of us is a depression for many communities of color. In fact, we are experiencing the biggest racial wealth divide this country has seen in the past 25 years. With the 2012 elections looming and the movement to “Occupy Wall Street” gaining momentum everyday, we must understand and engage in honest dialogue about race to create and win bold solutions that work for everyone, including communities of color.
I hope you will join me for this public conversation. Click here to RSVP.
Date:
Monday, November 14th. 7:00-8:30 PM. Doors open at 6:30 PM.
Location:
New School for Social Research
Wolff Conference Room
6 East 16th Street
New York, NY
This free event is co-sponsored by the Center for Social Inclusion, the Tides Network and the New School for Social Research.
Please RSVP by Nov 7. Space is limited.
Sincerely,
Maya Wiley
Executive Director, Center for Social Inclusion
