In October we kicked off Faces of Change as an ongoing podcast and event series to tell the stories of civic leaders around the world that are enabling change in their communities.
Our Faces of Change leader in November is Art Reyes III, Executive Director of We The People in Michigan.
We The People is an organizing organization that is successfully building multi-racial and working-class alliances that build power for change on social and economic justice issues across Michigan.
Join us on Thursday 21 November 10am EST to hear how Art and WeThePeople are brokering new relationships and alliances across Michigan, developing new civic leadership, and enabling change on the ground.
