SUMMARY:Civics In Action: Building Power for the Common Good
DESCRIPTION:We are proud to partner with Marquette University’s Center for Urban Research, Teaching, and Outreach (CURTO) on a series focused on democracy, active participation, civic responsibility, and civic engagement. Join us at Marquette University for a presentation by Kevin Solomon of Common Ground on the concept of civic responsibility as active participation in public life.\n\nMilwaukee is poorer, more segregated, and more unaffordable than it was just 10 years ago, when Matthew Desmond’s “Evicted” was published. It can be frustrating. Problems are worse, not better. Streetlights don’t work, potholes are seemingly everywhere, and evictions are on the rise. What can we do about it?\nKevin Solomon from Common Ground (CG) is going to share one answer: build power. ​\n\nHow CG builds power.\nStories about how they reformed public housing and won millions from the biggest banks in the world.\nWhat’s next for CG as they build power for the common good, and how you can be involved.\n\n\nOCT 23 12:00-1:30 PM AMU 163\nFREE Lunch!\nJOIN US\nREGISTER NOW\nRegistration is free.\n\n
