March Program on Activism
Forty-six people attended our March 26, 2025 program Activism 101: Turning Passion into Action. Sue Acton started the program discussing the actions and organizations we can partner with in our advocacy efforts. Guest speaker Julia Pulver is a registered nurse and leader in the field of health care, patient advocacy and public health. She founded Women Organize Michigan in 2016 and ran for state Senate in 2018. Attendees were inspired and informed on how they can defend democracy and take action for causes they care about. The final slide of the evening summed it up!
Courage
These are frightening times, and frightening times call for active, courageous leadership.
Our enemy is apathy, cynicism and fatalism; the pernicious, authoritarian-friendly belief that we are merely victims of world events rather than active participants in a global struggle for freedom and justice.
Every time one of us–a family member, a community organizer, a representative, a senator–takes a step forward in this fight, a thousand pairs of eyes watch and learn.
Courage is contagious.
