#WORKINGfuture Webinar Series Part 1

Happy New Year! We’re excited to kick off the New Year with the first of a 10-part webinar series led by our #WORKINGfuture campaign in partnership with many other organizations and leaders. The webinar series draws upon our “Bill of Rights for Criminalized Workers,” informed by formerly incarcerated leaders across the nation, which serves as a new vision of economic justice. The first webinar is on The Right to Human Dignity and People-First Language taking place on January 16th, 2019 3PM -4PM EST.  We’re excited that Dr. Divine Pryor, Executive Director, Center for NuLeadership and Urban Solutions will moderate given the organization’s leadership on language due to the late great Eddie Ellis and his still crucial letter on people-centered language.
