Caring Activism: Change Strategies that Model Culture Shift

Hi Conversation Leaders!

Thanks to Maura Conlon-McIvor, CELP alum and now CELP faculty who couldn't help noticing that the title of this article in YES! Magazine sounded oddly familiar.

A Caring Economy Requires Building Bridges—Not Burning Them

The article is a lovely profile of the social activism strategies being employed by Ai-jen Poo, the founder and director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, a membership organization of housekeepers, nannies, and home health assistants, most of whom are undocumented immigrant women.

I think many of you will be interested in this description of how tactics rooted in love, caring, and connection - rather than opposition - are the right and most effective strategies for creating change for a caring economy.

Thanks Maura!

Enjoy!
