Institute for Community Change

Everyday Democracy, a national leader in fostering dialogue and community change with an equity lens, launched its inaugural Institute for Community Change Leaders in December of 2018. Sue was part of the Everyday Democracy team of staff and senior associates who helped to plan and facilitate the institute. This dynamic institute brought together leaders from all backgrounds and ages to build their skills, knowledge and courage to help people engage with each other across difference, understand and embrace racial equity, and create equitable and sustainable community change. Participants came from all across the country and included executive directors, non-profit staff, business owners, grassroots community organizers, and more. With the support of Everyday Democracy, many of the participants will continue to work together over the coming year to keep growing their capacity for effective, equitable community change work.
