Getting Organized
Item #003 $149.95
Connecting Personal Experience to Collective Action
Sometimes, a terrible wrong can motivate a group to take action, get organized and make change. That’s what happened in Minnesota in 1994, when some folks with disabilities discovered an institution cemetery with numbered graves. Those graves told a terrible story, but what these folks did with this information is a story of hope.
Through award-winning DVD and participatory exercises, participants will hear these people’s story and learn their five-step method for taking action. Participants will explore how this method can work for their group as well, building the group’s leadership as they solve their own problems. Don’t miss this powerful opportunity.
