Y-Dub Discussions: Y Social Justice? Reflecting on World Day of Social Justice
In 2007, the General Assembly of the United Nations declared Feb. 20 as the Annual World Day of Social Justice. Join us for a community conversation about the World Day of Social Justice, the history of global social justice endeavors, and the continued barriers that female identifying people — especially female identifying people of color, particularly Black female identifying people — face in America. We’ll also look ahead at practical ways individual citizens can influence public policy and make their voices heard so that women remain a driving force on issues big and small – every single year.
Panelists include:
- Kayla Rothman-Zecher, human rights activist and consultant for University of Dayton Human Rights Conference
- Sean Frost, professor of sociology, Sinclair Community College
- Guy Jones, elder, Miami Valley Native Council
- Shelly Corbin, Cheyenne River Reservation member and Beyond Dirty Fuels campaign representative, Sierra Club
- Darsheel Kaur, grassroots community activist/restorative justice healer
