“We wanted to launch our 3025 organizing coalition with the radiant energy of the arts, and honor that ear to the street energy with The Art of Justice and the Find the Power world cafe” said community organizer, Omari Fox. “We don’t want another meeting for the sake of having a meeting. It’s a reset for us that honors and amplifies the work already in effect, and part of a longer strategy to educate and mobilize the people towards solutions as we in partnership see fit.”
