In a tumultuous world with polarized societies, talking and working across differences feels nearly impossible. This session explores the intersection of justice-oriented education and democratic engagement to forge a better future. Join a panel of experts from academia, the arts, and grassroots organizing as they share local, national, and global examples of solidarity building through education and activism.
