OCDCA is launching our peer-to-peer learning series: Discussion to Action! Join us and special guest, Leah Rothstein, for the opening lunch and learn session of our discussion series around Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law.
Kick off discussion
We’ll be kicking off the series on March 19th with special guest Leah Rothstein. Bring your lunch and join us and a special guest to launch the first session of this series. Julia, our staff facilitator, will share a refresher on crucial conversations, the book guide, and open up discussion around our introductory questions:
How do you see residential segregation impacting your community? Do you feel personally impacted by residential segregation? Why or why not?
What do you think of the argument the authors make that, in order to make gains on challenging segregation, we should focus on local policy instead of federal policy? What are the opportunities and challenges to this approach?
Recommended pre-reading: Introduction, Epilogue, Frequently Asked Questions, A Note on Word Usage
This discussion group features Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law, co-authored by Leah and Richard Rothstein, our 2023 Annual Conference keynote speaker. Participants will read the book and participate in a moderated discussion that will follow Leah Rothstein's book guide. But this is more than a book club - the focus is on learning from peers and experts in the field to help galvanize local action.
The series will run from spring into summer, meeting every other week in a hybrid format. Participating in this kick-off session does not commit you to attend the entire series.
